The 1980s and 1990s saw the rise of home consoles and personal computers. This democratized game development and led to iconic franchises such as “Mario,” “Zelda,” and “Final Fantasy.”
Nowadays, there is a boom in the industry with games like the GTA series, Tekken, and Street Fighter. The growth doesn’t stop there. The most rapidly growing community in gaming is mobile gaming, which is expanding quickly and has plenty of room for further growth.
