  2016, a third of the worlds population was video
  gaming. Thats two and a half billion people. In

  people play video games on platforms like Twitch
  and YouTube. In 2018, the gaming industry made at
  least 130 billion dollars. And this is a business
  that is still growing by about 10 percent a
  year.
