"There is much to say about what motivates players to pick up and play eSports, but what motivates them to keep coming back? Even after the game has fallen out of popularity or has been replaced with newer, more cutting-edge titles? This chapter explores the motivations that keeps players engaging with the communities that build around the eSports titles they play, even after the lights have faded, and some of the social benefits these players draw from them beyond the ones they were looking for when they first picked the game up."
