Video games have been popular since the moment they first came out decades ago.   However in recent years thanks to online streaming, we've really seen games explode in popularity.  There are people now who have built entire careers off of playing their favorite video games. In fact in 2022 the global game market is projected to generate $196 billion in revenue.
