Esports
In our modern age, a beautiful thing is emerging. A league for gamers. A true league. Gamers around the world are beginning to collaborate to the point where Esports has become such a big affair that it is known internationally; it is only growing. In the old days parents used to worry about their kids' obsessions with games, but now parents have to look at it sort of differently. Pros are emerging, making millions of dollars. The market in Feb of 2017 was approximately 470 million dollars. That was a 51% increase from 2015. It is estimated to be worth 1.5 billion buy 2020. A gaming career is an extremely serious career now, and it will only get more serious.
As gaming becomes more immersive and a part of our lives, more people will become accustomed to this upcoming societal behavior. Think of watching some real men playing basketball, while simulated professional gamers are capable of having spaceship warzones, or transformer combat. The imagination combined with the power of software development will bring amazingly creative games and environments for gamers, viewers, and pros to utilize. It may come to the point where there are games for gen pop as well.
Looking lucrative and like a blast, most don't know that being a professional gamer can be quite the challenging career. Practicing every day up to multiple hours coordinating team movement. A lot of stress can come with trying to sustain a championship. There are a lot of factors that aren't taken into account. Is it even a game to them anymore?
