Gaming Industry Having a Boom During Pandemic: Will It Last?

Gaming Industry Having a Boom During Pandemic: Will It Last? According to Andrej Kovacevic, video game companies are seeing growth like never before. In the US alone, consumers spent $10.86 billion in the first three months of the year, setting a new record. While more people are spending more time playing games, the one thing they're not doing is making in-game purchases. That would seem to indicate that while the gaming industry's seeing benefits now, they won't be permanent.
