Gaming industry worth $300 bil after pandemic surge: study

I am not completely on board with the current trend of making everything a service instead of a product, but it is obvious this is an important force driving the increase of profits for companies together with the extra amount of time thanks to the effects of the pandemic, so it is not likely to change and may even become more pronounced. I just hope there will still be options for those that like games to be stand alone things that don't require monthly fees and constant internet connection.
