Video game culture

Video game culture is a global new media subculture created by video gamers that has spread across the globe. As the popularity of video games has grown dramatically over time, they have had a major impact on popular culture as a result. With the rise of the Internet and the growing popularity of mobile games, video game culture has progressed along with it. Many individuals who play video games refer to themselves as gamers, which may indicate anything from someone who just likes playing games to someone who is obsessed with them. As video games become increasingly social, thanks to the inclusion of multiplayer and online capabilities, players find themselves immersed in a rising number of social networks. Electronic sports, which are video games played for pleasure rather than competition, are becoming increasingly generally recognised as a form of amusement as well as competitiveness.
