2015 has been the year of records for eSports. From viewership to investments, we’ve set the bar pretty high for 2016 and looking at the most recent announcements we’re already looking at a brighter future.
You may recall the Dota 2 International surpassing $18 million, and various titles such as Counter-Strike, League of Legends and Dota 2 surpassing one million concurrent viewers for various tournaments. These are just some of the records broken in 2015.

![Core Keeper key art 1 [Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity](https://mcvuk.com/wp-content/uploads/Core-Keeper-key-art-1-310x165.jpg)
More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
