There are two types of families over the Christmas period. The family that gathers together for a wholesome afternoon of Monopoly, accompanied by cups of tea and M&S biscuits - and the family kickstarting World War Three over a vigorous battle to the death via the PlayStation.
Whatever your itinerary during the Yuletide period, it goes without saying that gaming is a hobby (for some a career) valued by millions. In fact, the gaming world is so immense, that it has financially superseded both the music and film industries combined. According to a report Statista, by the end of 2023, the gaming market is projected to reach a revenue of $249.60 billion (£196.94 billion) and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 9.32 per cent between 2023 and 2028, resulting in a projected market volume of US $389.70 billion (£307.57 billion) by 2028.
