Abstract

A decade ago, few people believed that eSports would be a billion-dollar business. However, over the past few years, the industry has grown exponentially, attracting fans, players, investors, sponsors, and governing bodies. The global eSport economy exceeded the $1B dollar mark for the first time in 2019. In this chapter, the size of the eSport industry in terms of investment, revenue generation, and major costs will be discussed. The chapter also presents the risks and concerns associated with the eSports industry.
