With people globally locked in their homes for most of the year due to the unexpected pandemic, ways of entertainment were drastically reduced. Thus, the option of having fun online appeared as the only valid one since the international closure of cinemas, theaters, bars, discos, museums and the absence of live sports and artistic shows in open spaces.
This context led to a spectacular increase in the consumption of video games and Esports in different age groups. The number of players expanded massively and the revenues of the companies in these segments rose. Since its launching in August 2019, G&M News has been paying attention to and covering these fascinating activities. In 2020, coverage deepened.
