Is Esports Booming or Temporarily Bubbling?

We are living in the times where Esports was never more outspread, and it’s only getting bigger. The Esports economy was the primary subject at the Game Developers Conference. They discussed the opportunities and the overall worth of the industry at the San Francisco gathering.

Today, almost all of the Esports economy is focused primarily on the United States and Asian territories. According to several sources, Esports is set to hit $1 billion in revenue this year for the first time. The majority of this money comes from sponsorship, advertising, and media rights.

The genre then spawned countless games on various platforms like Fortnite, Apex Legends, CS:GO Danger Zone among many others.  As the player base of PUBG seems to dwindle as the genre popularized, the team at PUBG Corp. decided to double down and turn it into a full-fledged esport title.
