Fornite makes $250m a month (by some reports) and is entirely hosted on AWS.

That's one game.

Makes me feel old. Any game that even requires internet access makes me cringe. But it is nice to know that SA is keeping with trends.

I attribute my slightly better English vocabulary to Diablo 2 and other games of that time.

The largest game, by a large margin.

Sure, but there are _hundreds_ of games.

Last time I looked at it, it's the largest industry after the 'adult' industry.
