It's sometimes hard to gauge the full impact something
"new" will have on an industry over the long term as it
transitions from "What in the world?!" to "But of
course!" in the minds of the general public. For investors,
owners and other participants in the relatively new arena of
eSports, though, the question of whether or when its popularity
will surpass that of traditional leagues like the NFL and NBA is
less important than ensuring their businesses and business models
are sufficiently protected. Over on Pillsbury's Policyholder Pulse blog, our own
Kim Buffington explores the "traditional" insurance
needs of the competitive gaming industry in "As Investment in ESports Grows, Insurance Coverage
Must Keep Up."
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
about your specific circumstances.
