Online Gaming to the World

Gamemakers are arguing that the world of online gaming is bringing an entire new light and hope to the collaborative and creative world. It is suggested in the video that gaming can help to solve problems like hunger and poverty. The “real world,” especially in society’s current state, can tend to bring an unconfident mindset to the people living in today’s struggling culture. The virtual world, on the other hand, brings confidence, optimism, and possibilities that are not daunting and out of grasping range.

            Gamemakers believe that the world of gaming can bring these possibilities through collaboration. They believe that with the millions of people subscribed to online gaming, there is constant feedback that is not only fast and efficient, but it comprises a sense of social fabric. Whenever humans are interacting in these games, there is an immediate bond that is built between the player and the opponent or teammate. Gamemakers are also creating games and consoles that are eco friendly, so they are not only bringing new ideas to the world, but they are creating an environmentally safer gaming world to the industry.

            Is it possible for gaming to solve some of the world’s and/or nation’s most pressing issues? Gamemakers argue that this idea could indeed be true. In the video, it mentions that by including an incentive for people who are able to come up with a solution to real world matters, or rather, “beat the game,” will be more likely to push themselves to extremes in order to find a solution. Because online gaming has become such a popular and widespread area in our culture, I believe that it is smart of gamemakers to attempt to twist the typical game to something that can be applicable to help society.  With collaboration, optimism, and hope, online gaming may very well be the solution to some of the world’s problems.
