The video game industry has come a long way over the past few decades and is now firmly established as a multi-billion-dollar global business. Gaming experts have predicted that the sector could be worth more than $300 billion by 2025, with advancements in technology helping to power further growth over the next few years. The popularity of gaming has helped to spawn a vast network of conventions and expos that take place across the world throughout the year. With live events currently suspended, we take a look at some of the New York gaming fairs we hope will make a return when life returns to normal.
