With esports, what used to be small, arcade-focused events have evolved over the decades into a huge industry with prizes ranging up into the tens of millions. But, is this what gamers are actually looking for? Today, we have with us Howard Marcus to talk about the esports industry, it’s past and future, and how web3 technology could be an integral part of that.
The future of gaming is about all of us, and primarily happens through you, the gaming audience. So, a quick reminder that every like, comment, rating, or share helps us grow this show and through it the people we can reach to spread the word about what we’re trying to achieve at Ultra.
Let’s get to it.
