Esports Origins

Almost everyone loves video games as video games form a very important part of everybody’s childhood memories. Because of the entertainment it provides, people got into organized online and offline competitions to get more of the thrills video games gives which is mostly between amateur players. Until the late 2000’s the concept of monetizing video game competition (known as eSports) has been out of the mind of every one. Esports (organized video game competition) came into existence in the late 2000’s with the participation of professional gamers and spectators through centralized bodies or systems. Esport games include multiplayer video games competition like real-time strategy, first person shooter, fighting, etc. Prize money is given to the competitors after the games.

Esports Economy

Since the late 2000’s the popularity of eSports have ever grown and it has been projected that the economic value will go from $108.9 billion to $128.5 billion in 2020.

Video games have ever been known and interacted with because it is largely seen as a hobby and something for entertainment. The introduction of the organized competition and later eSports made it profiting only to the professional players and little or nothing for the amateurs. One could only imagine how more than 2.3 billion active gamers around the globe and eSports only profit about 4000 who are professionals while the amateurs spend an average of $5.2 every day to do what they love – this should not be so.

Personal note

I am a great fan and lover of video games (mostly first-person shooting). I have played series of video games on my laptop and I am always on the lookout for new games to entertain myself. With Genbby I get to turn my hobby in to profit as it gives me the opportunity to earn. I can now get in touch with other people (especially with those who are more experienced than I do) so they can teach me new and cool tricks. This is awesome. I am not saying that there is no other platform that helps to socialize with gamers, but not in a way to become an active profiteer in the eSport ecosystem.
