(Newswire.net — January 3, 2018) — Even though there are thousands of people who play online games today, studies also show that there are other thousands that do not play online games, some of whom view these games as a pastime of the lonely, friendless and those seeking to quench a guilty pleasure.
Those who think playing online games is for the friendless or a complete waste of time can be forgiven partly by how game developers market their games. Taking, for instance, popular games like Zuma or Candy Crush are said to be great time killers while the likes of World of Warcraft are premised on killing enemies. However, the marketing strategies are just monolith created by game developers that are slowly changing and breaking down.
Research has proved that we should play online games more often whether live online casino games or video games.
Culturally prescient
Believe it or not, playing games influences how you see the world. When you become fond of a game, you subconsciously start to record and keep track of everything about the game whether it’s the structure, design principles or culture of the game. Several of the prominent media personalities today sharpened their skills playing online games. The directors of the movie hits, Mr. Robot and Westworld borrowed some of the movies’ conventions and game designs from online games.
Encourage social skills
As we have alluded to before, there are those who do not play video games saying they are a preserve of the lonely and friendless, on the contrary, this is not true as today’s games encourage engagement between and among players. Most if not all games developed nowadays have the option of engagement, thus online games are more about cooperation and sociability than anything else.
Help you express your inner desires
We all have those moments when we feel that the world is conspiring against us, in days gone by some would pen down songs, play a musical instrument or maybe sulk behind closed doors. However, with the advent of online games, during those dark, dull moments, an hour or two playing your favorite game might just lighten you up giving you a reason to smile for the rest of the day.
Make your brain flexible
Playing a game is more like a workout for your brain. Games require significant amounts of strategy and memory to play. The more you play a game and master it, the more your brain becomes flexible helping you think strategically.
