| Abstract: | A significant development of the video game market could be observed over the last few decades. Back in the day, playing video games was generally considered to be a leisure activity predominantly practiced by young men. However, this activity has expanded to include other target groups, most notably women as well as parents and seniors. Not only the user base of video games has changed significantly, but also the importance of the industry itself. According to a report by PwC analyzing the future of global entertainment and media, between 2017 and 2022, consumers will allocate a significant portion of their free time dedicated to entertainment and media activities to playing video games (27.8 percent CAGR). More specifically, consuming video games comes only second to communications with 28.5 percent. Moreover, the video game industry currently generates higher revenues than other entertainment industries, such as motion pictures and music. |
