AgentB, it's a separate industry so I wouldn't look at any of those listed. e-sports is specifically competitive gaming, so it's more about the events, sponsorship, audience etc than the games publishers / console manufacturers. It's huge in Asia but hasn't really hit the mainstream in the same way elsewhere yet. Basically imagine any sporting event - large audiences, except they're watching people compete in virtual sports rather than real ones. Twitch is the dominant streaming platform for games - but that's Amazon owned. Microsoft tried and failed to replicate it with Mixer. You can invest in esports ETFs, so that's probably as good as anything if you're just looking for exposure.
