Needless to say, video games have gained a lot of popularity over the past 20 years. The game, played by only a few enthusiasts, has basically become fun for everyone. Today they are played by both children and adults, there are many different genres. But what is behind this popularity? Here are some factors, some of which people often do not notice.
Of course, the first is immersion, that is, the ability to draw us into action. Here we can really move our character, control it, and basically become it for a while. Suddenly, we are not ordinary people, but completely different people. In addition, without risk. Of course, in the game we fight the enemy, but if we lose, the only thing that happens to us is that we have to start over. So here we have the excitement of fighting without the risk of injury.
Of course, the danger is not so, so we can say that the excitement is less. But the truth is that the game makes up for this with other things. For example, if you are on a long and difficult path to the ultimate boss, you want to beat him, but the idea that you need to do all this again is definitely scary.
But that\’s just part of what makes video games interesting. 1. Another factor is marketing. It was important, at least at first. And interestingly, for marketing, the number of girls playing video games professionally is much lower than boys. They have always been presented as boyish entertainment, but the girls do not need abilities that are not seen to the same extent. It also helped their rise.
But today, when video games are already established and accepted as part of society, their popularity disappears precisely with the disappearing promotions and this despite the fact that various competitions and esports competitions are organized. Unfortunately, the latter is not advertised anywhere even with regard to the master level, but this is a pity. It will definitely help at the moment.
