Paid to Play: The Rise of Professional Video Gaming in Kenya

"As of July 2018, more money has been spent on Gaming—in all its forms and formats—than any other kind of entertainment on the planet. It’s a massive industry worth almost 3 times as much as the movie industry," notes the Liftoff 2018 Mobile Gaming Apps Report.
