Do you remember playing Super Mario? Well, the gaming industry has significantly changed since then. According to Reuters, this industry today is bigger than it ever was. It is bigger than all other forms of entertainment, combined. Yes, let that sink in!
Statistically, video games have emerged as the most profitable and popular mode of entertainment of this digital era! Beating even TV and streaming services including Spectrum streaming service, the gaming industry has earned a whopping revenue of $116 billion in 2017!

And guess what, the gaming industry is still growing at an exponential rate.
