Digital entertainment is becoming increasingly connected.
Gaming, video, music, sports, social communities and interactive content were once treated as separate categories. Today, users often experience several of them within the same digital ecosystem.
A person may watch a sports highlight, read statistics, join a community discussion and discover related entertainment content without leaving a single platform.
