Importance Of Cyber Security In Games

Videogames have come a long way since the creation of the first real electronic entertainment entry, Spacewar!, in the early 1960s. Made for Digital Equipment Corporation’s PDP-1 mini-computer, which had a price tag of US$120,000 (nearly US$1 million in today’s dollars), Spacewar! could only display minimal graphics. The digital games of today have become widely affordable and are available on numerous platforms; this includes PC, console, and mobile – each offering breath-taking graphics and online connectivity. The latter allows gamers to interact with others in a virtual world of their own.

According to video games market intelligence firm, Newzoo, this industry – today – sees 2.2 billion active gamers worldwide and is worth US$108.9 billion. Up front is mobile as it takes the lead with US$46.1 billion or 42% market share; following closely is the consoles segment, at US$33.5 billion while PC gaming rakes an smaller, yet equally as cool, US$29.4 billion. Almost half – 47% or US$51.2 billion – of all consumer spending comes from the Asia Pacific with China contributing US$27.5 billion alone. This is about a quarter of the entire industry on a global scale.

Such large figures make video games one of the most lucrative entertainment industries to-date, surpassing even the film and music industries.
