Overview: | As esports grows, patterns are emerging where the industry is seeing a growing divide between PC based games (payments/prize pools/sponsorship) and console focused games, which has interesting implications for the racial demographics of who gets to play and who gets to get pro. This session will discuss this critical juncture in esports and examine how inequality manifests in the space even from unlikely connections. |
