## **Why Building Esports Games Is Worth It for Developers**

## **Featuring Braeden Plein, Co-Founder of Gosu Academy**

Esports is more than competition. It is a global ecosystem that brings together players, developers, educators, and businesses. In this session, **Braeden Plein**, Co-Founder of **Gosu Academy** and Founder of **eAthlete Labs**, will share why creating esports-focused games can open powerful opportunities for Unity developers.

Braeden will discuss what makes competitive gaming a strong driver of innovation and community engagement, how developers can design experiences that keep players invested over time, and why the future of esports will increasingly come from creative studios and independent developers.
