Even with much of the U.S. economy shutting down due to the coronavirus pandemic, the gaming sector upped its advertising outlay for television to an estimated $17.3 million in March—$5.3 million more than February’s spend. As we’ve previously mentioned, gaming could be an economic bright spot with millions of Americans staying home.
