What Is the Gap We’re Looking To Close? Gaming and Fandom Sports fandom has advanced leaps and bounds over the past decade. As seen by the rapid growth of online sports betting, fantasy sports and e-sports, for most people what it means to be a fan is no longer limited to watching a sport or wearing a specific team’s laundry. Simply watching sports is no longer enough to satisfy the modern fan. There is a massive need for new engaging, immersive, and interactive mechanisms for enjoying sports and other forms of competitive entertainment. Fans are looking for exciting and interactive ways to engage with their favorite teams and sports. New and older generations of fans are no longer satisfied by passive fandom and are seeking out ways to actively enjoy the games they love. Put simply, fans want to have action in the games they are watching and they want to share that action with a community of fans seeking the same experience.
