I think the next major crash in video games will be e-sports. And I love e-sports (three time TI attendee). As Peter Dager (ppd), ex-CEO of Evil Genius and industry professional says best: >Esports is a phenomenon brought on by the introduction of the internet, it does not have to be run the same way that professional sports operate. Many professional sports do not expect to fill a stadium. 99% of our audience is online and prefer to sit in their rooms on their PCs so lets please focus our resources on improving the broadcast and player/talent treatment. Too many irresponsible “businessmen” have latched on to esports over the past couple of years and have convinced billionaires that they are sitting on top of a golden egg. Yes esports is new, yes it is exciting to be at the front of an emerging industry but you are setting everyone else who is to follow up for failure by creating unrealistic standards and expectations. >The [e-sports] audience is not going to grow immensely, let’s build sustainable events so we can continue to enjoy the game we love so much. I think if investor expectations are not well-managed, this is going to cause an e-sports 'winter' if you will. If this happens, it's definitely going to affect some major game-changing genres like MOBAs and some FPSs. I genuinely feel like it could cause a huge stumble for AAA companies.
