Spyware tactics can occasionally target gamers, especially if they are working with a dubious online gaming company. Hence, such factors could restrain market revenue growth.

For instance, according to a 2020 Entertainment Software Association (ESA) research, the average age of gamers is rising as video games become more prevalent in American culture.

The Europe market is expected to register fastest revenue growth rate in the global video games market during the forecast period. This is attributed to rising government approvals and major key strategic initiatives as well as rising Research & Development (R&D). For instance, European Union promotes the creation of video games through its Creative Europe initiative, although the little sum granted (for example, USD 6.5 million in 2022) and rigorous eligibility criteria do not represent a true support plan for co-productions and the creation of European video games. In addition, rising product approvals by key video game startup companies in this region is also expected to drive market revenue growth during the forecast period.
