Abstract
Ülkemizde
30 milyondan fazla kişi farklı dijital platformlar üzerinden dijital oyunlar
oynamaktadır. Yerel oyun endüstrisinin büyüklüğü yıllık yaklaşık olarak 700
milyon dolardır. Dijital oyun endüstrisi yıllık ortalama olarak %16 ila %18
arasında büyümektedir. Rekabete dayalı bilgisayar oyunlarının hem oynanması hem
de izlenmesinin elektronik spor (e-Spor) kavramının doğmasına neden olduğu
söylenebilir. Dünya’da en az 385 milyon kişi e-Spor seyircisi, 100 milyondan
fazla kişi e-Spor oyuncusu ve Türkiye’de en az 7 milyon oyuncu e-Spor
ekosisteminde oyuncu ve izleyici olarak yer almaktadır. e-Sporun 2017 yılında
dünya genelinde elde ettiği gelir 696 milyon dolara ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışmanın
amacı henüz emekleme aşamasında olan e-Spor endüstrisinin tarihini, ticari
modellerini, e-Spor oyun türlerini, paydaşlarını, mevcut ve gelecek ekonomik
durumunu ortaya koymak ve bu alanda yapılacak çalışmalar için öneriler
getirmektir.
