#52League of Legends is no longer the world's most popular video game.
What is now? PUBG?
Measured in revenue, it has to be Fortnite: Epic is apparently printing money to the tune of $100MM/month from it. And anecdotally, over the course of just a couple months it certainly seems like every single person under the age of 18 in the United States started playing it.

When I used to play MotherLoad, the world was still a bright place, full of possibility. I was on track to finish from a prestigious high school, accepted into a prestigious university, and obviously going to end up pretty comfortable in life.
Little did I know, that within me I had the seeds of mental illness growing. Perhaps, one of the signs, if I only knew to pay attention to it, was how "addicting" games were to me. I think the world back then just thought a lot less about those things, if you could still manage to be outwardly successful.
No one worried about what it meant that some kids finding a vibrant, "safer" environment in video games, than in the real world.
Ahhhh, MotherLoad.

Motherload? That game was terrific. You can still play it, though you do need Flash.

depends on what sphere you're looking at. the overwatch league is poised to take over in the esports scene while fortnite is gobbling up the casual playerbase. note that this is north america focused, i have no clue about europe, south korea, or china.
