THE sheet launches this Monday (21) Combo, an exclusive newsletter about video games. It will be sent every Monday.
Combo will have what matters most in the area of games, analysis on trends, technology and, of course, game tips. To subscribe to the newsletter for free, sign up below.
The newsletter is edited by journalist Tiago Ribas. Editor in the print edition of sheethe writes in the newspaper about games and has played for over 20 years, from the first Game Boy to the current PlayStation 5.
“Despite being a recent industry and having literally started as a child’s play, the video game market has grown a lot in the last 30 years and has already surpassed other branches of entertainment”, says Ribas.
According to data from a survey by consultancy Accenture, the games industry moves about US$ 300 billion (R$ 1.53 trillion) a year, more than the TV (US$ 122 billion), music (US$ 110 billion) billion) and cinema ($40 billion) combined.
The study estimates direct revenue (purchase of consoles and games, revenue from ads and subscriptions, etc.) at $200 billion. The other US$ 100 billion comes from indirect revenue (purchase of mobile devices, of computers built to play games and their accessories, eSports revenues…).
In addition to Combo, the sheet has another 18 newsletters. See options and how to apply.
