    And now my friend Ashley is building a new pub that is based entirely around catering to the gaming community! It will be called, of course, Ashley's Pub: http://www.ashleys.pub/

    Gamers are good people, and they have money to spend. Businesses that make room for this type of engaged activity are going to win, business-wise.

Ever heard of eSports? Riot Games filled up LA's Staples Center, Chicago Theatre, and Madison Square Garden during their "Worlds" Tournament. If you saw the end of the Nintendo Switch Ad, then you saw Nintendo recognizing the same end point you brought up. There's a joke that Riot's goal is to get their game into the olympics. But in the here and now, they just started getting teams sponsored by NBA stars and teams, oh, and Rick Fox.

On the point of gaming hubs, I just found out there's a gaming pub near me. :)
