Episode #105: VanEck ESPO ETF, ESPN Esports Failure, Take-Two Buying Spree
I think to JP’s point I think the esports world needs to focus on the global aspect of esports rather then the current local trend for a company like Activision to only produce about 8% of their revenue from esports can be alittle intimidating for companies looking to enter the field. With companies like ESPN failing to succeed in esports industry, companies that are focused on the esports and gaming world will trend to succeed over a company that doesnt commit to the covering the esports world. TakeTwo acquisition of CodeMasters could definitely change the core of their company being able to enhance their games could lead to a significant increase in their business.
