[Text 1] Music sales are plummeting due to the popularity of free streaming services. Similarly, film studios are also suffering, because old forms of distribution, such as DVDs, no longer appeal to the younger generation. The computer games industry is going from strength to strength. Indeed, computer games sales in 2020 grew to $56.9 billion in the US alone, which is more than films and music combined.

[Voc 1]
plummet - to fall suddenly and quickly from a high level or position
appeal - to attract or interest sb
go from strength to strength - to become more and more successful
combined - two or more things being the total

[Text 2] It seems that the possibilities are endless for those who are in touch with the needs and desires of the new generation of gamers, which is very promising news for one of the current centres of game design worldwide. We’re not talking about the legendary software hub of California’s Silicon Valley, though. In fact, a huge number of top coders and game designers today are based in Poland.

[Voc 2]
endless - large in size or amount and seeming to have no end
desire - a strong wish to have or do sth
current - happening now; of the present time
