2024 Summer Olympics will include video games: Gamer World News Entertainment CEO
"Competitive video gaming is expected to be part of the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, according to Gamer World News Entertainment CEO Gayle Dickie.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is reportedly considering adding “eSports” in an attempt to attract younger viewers. The IOC elected Paris as host city of the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad 2024 and with 2.2 billion gamers throughout the world, Dickie says, adding video gaming will substantially increase viewership of the summer games.
“[Olympic games] viewership is down 24 percent in the 18-49 demos,” she said."
