A short overview of the video gaming industry
Did you know that the first video games were launched in the 1960s and were non-commercial? Only later, in the 1970s, commercial game development became popular - with the apparition of first-generation video game consoles and early home computers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_development). Ever since then, the gaming industry has been growing and expanding at an accelerated rhythm. So it should be no surprise that now, statistics show that 65% of all households own a device used for playing video games; moreover, the gaming industry has more than 2.3 billion active players and produces a yearly revenue that exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars (https://flux.fund/en ).
So, if the number of players is so huge, it means (without any signs of doubt, we may add) that the demand for fresh, attractive and original games keeps increasing, right? However, things are not that bright for game developers - due to the current role of popular markets and publishers, game developers earnings are reduced with 30% or more; they rarely receive the amount of recognition they deserve and commissions that are motivating them to invest more time and effort in the games they design.
