surely the esports money is being made by Blizzard Activision, Valve and Riot Games rather than EA & Ubisoft?
Riot is owned by Tencent so it's in a whole different ball game. Valve I'd argue is barely even a games company any more, it's just Steam printing money for them.
Blizzard does still make money but god knows how, WoW has been their lifeline for a decade now
Net income US$1.503 billion (2019)
Don't under estimate the amount of dosh EA and Ubisoft pull in. But they were just examples.
EANet income US$1.04 billion (2018)
Ubisoft
Net income $1.587 billion(2016)

I'd put the move to digital down to steams success over any of the other platforms that have appeared. Sadly can't see PS Store ever being as competitive as Steam has been, but they do have some good sales these days.
