Video game industry

The video game industry is a significant segment of the leisure sector, straddling the tertiary sector, which provides services to people, and the quaternary sector, which focuses on knowledge-intensive activities such as research and technological development. This industry includes the development, marketing, distribution, monetization, and consumer feedback processes related to video games. The industry encompasses dozens of job disciplines and thousands of jobs worldwide.

The professions involved include game designers, software engineers, sound designers, testers, marketers, and customer support staff.
Video games have gradually gained increasing relevance as a widespread cultural phenomenon, exerting significant influence on many areas of contemporary society.
These influences extend to the economy and the labor market, education, consumption patterns and daily habits, architecture and urban planning, and sectors such as healthcare, the automotive industry, cinema and television, fashion, and sports.
