Bungie launched its second annual “Guardian Games” event on April 20th. Classes will face off against each other to showcase the gaming combat skills.

Bungie Inc. is a video game company based in Washington that was founded in 1991. Its most famous product is the Destiny video game franchise.

The Profit‘s Take:

I am always slightly skeptical when developers set out to make games specifically for esports. It’s probably a better strategy to set out to make just a great game.
