If you ever thought that being a lawyer was going to pay well, you should drop out now and become a professional gamer (if you’re good a video games).
All jokes aside, I learned a lot about Esports during Jon’s Video Game Law class (I wrote my 25 page paper on Esports). Esports is one of the biggest areas of sports that is rapidly growing. The rate it is growing at is amazing. The comparable to ‘real sports’ is astonishing and sometimes even surpasses the numbers of these traditional sports. Example, the audience viewership. Watching an NHL game you can fit about 20,000 people in a rink to watch a game but watching Overwatch live could bring in 120-140,000 viewer at once.
I highly suggest taking Video Game Law because you will learn a lot of things you never thought you could think about in regards to the ever changing market and how it taps into the legal system. Also, it could persuade you to become a billionaire off of video games 🙂
