While this is certainly good news for the gaming industry, it's interesting to note that other areas saw even more significant growth. For example, social media revenue grew by 16% during that same period.

And that's not all! CTV (connected TV) revenue jumped a whopping 32% year over year. It seems like more and more people are turning to streaming services and other digital platforms for their entertainment needs.

Of course, it's important to keep in mind that these numbers are just one part of the larger picture. There are many factors that influence ad revenue in different industries, and the gaming industry is still going strong.

Whether you're a gamer, a marketer, or just someone who's interested in the world of advertising, it's fascinating to see how different industries are evolving and adapting to changing consumer preferences. Who knows what the future will hold?
