Video games, “a French passion”
Holding this show is an opportunity to highlight the considerable number of French people who are fans of video games. According to a new France Esports barometer, produced by Médiamétrie, 12 million French people say they are fans of esports.
Especially since this event has once again confirmed its attractiveness and popularity, not only among young people. This is evidenced by the seniors trophy, a competition reserved for the oldest which was held on Friday November 3.
