Since 2010, the video game industry has evolved leaps and bounds from originally being simple forms of entertainment to finally becoming giant story-driven performances that can immerse anyone into a fully interactive world. The past decade has been the biggest period for video games ever, and the stats prove it.
According to a recent update from Safebettingsites, the video game industry has risen over 0% in the past decade, meaning the industry has financially mobed up 20 billion dollars! To put that into perspective, the industry has earned 39 billion in 2010 and has since moved up to 60 billion!
That even speaks for the industry's job market as even the employment, wage, and business stats have also seen a huge improvement. One of the update's biggest surprises reveals that while the pandemic has put a lot of the world on a pause, the businesses made for games are expected to rise almost 10% this year alone! As for wages, the average growth per year is typically 1.2%, but this year has seen that number rise to 1.8%!
Now when the next person says that the industry is dying, these numbers will help to make sure they are informed that the opposite appears to be occurring. We would love to hear your thoughts on the recent update and what are some of your favorite games of the past decade!
