Ran into this article today: https://udaipurtimes.com/business-udaipur/the-biggest-games-arent-really-games-anymore/cid18299204.htm , and it got me thinking about how different games feel now compared to a few years ago. The idea is that the biggest titles today aren’t really just games anymore — they’re more like digital spaces where people meet, chat, and spend time together. It reminded me of how my younger brother logs into his favorite game not to complete missions, but just to hang out with his friends after school. They talk, explore, and sometimes don’t even play properly. Do you think this is where gaming is heading?
Yeah, I’ve seen that exact thing happening. One of my friends plays an online game where they mostly just socialize. They join voice chats, decorate their in-game spaces, and attend events that other players organize. It’s almost like a mix between a game and a social platform. The gameplay is still there, but it’s not always the main focus anymore.
Interesting topic. Even as someone who doesn’t spend much time gaming, I’ve noticed how digital platforms tend to evolve into social spaces over time. Whether it’s games, apps, or forums, people naturally start using them to connect with others. It’s kind of fascinating to see how entertainment and communication blend together in these environments.
