The umbrella of “games” contains many categories, and one that Jordan knows very little about is esports. Luckily, esports host Frankie Ward – who you may know as the woman who appeared in a shark costume when she presented the PC Gaming Show at E3 2019 – took the time to explain why she loves esports so much, and to answer questions like:
Why have publishers failed to create brand new esports?
How do these digital sports compare to the more traditional physical ones?
And how does the industry make its money?
