More Than a Video Game
In order for other industries to adapt to the prevailing gaming culture, the motives of gamers need to be understood in order to enhance the brand experience.The popularity of videogames could easily be attributed to the desire for a temporary escape from an increasingly stressful world.Videogames allow for an occasional break from reality,providing a retreat into a world where deadlines,stress,and pressing issues do not exist.
However,it seems that gamers don't just play simply for fun or escapism.In fact,recent studies suggest that the majority of gamers play for a variety of reasons that are more deeply rooted.These studies have found that gamers play video games for a sense of achievement,freedom and even social connectedness– to exist and receive validation in an alternate community that feels legitimate.For example, video games allow someone who may not be athletic to be the quarterback of a professional football team or compete against a celebrity athlete.Not many people in the world would have the opportunity to skateboard next to Tony Hawk, but video games make it possible.Jessica Mousseau reveals her theory about the basic concept underlying the popularity of video games when she writes, "The ability to become someone else,someone you will never be,to live out a life full of danger and mystery,is offered by video games to all people.But even if it's just for one hour or a few minutes it makes people feel alive and able to do absolutely anything" (Mousseau).A study done on the interactions that occur both within and outside MMORPGs concluded that virtual gaming may allow players to express themselves in ways they may not feel comfortable doing in real life because of their appearance, gender,sexuality,and/or age
The World is Flat
Video games are in 80 percent of American homes with children,and 60 percent of Americans play video games.Although video games do have a larger presence in more developed countries, the widespread,worldwide availability of the internet allows persons in less developed countries to engage in video games online.The gaming culture in South Korea can be examined to give perspective on how deeply video games have rooted themselves into the cultures of some countries.In South Korea,competitive gaming is one of the most televised sports,and PC Bangs are all the rage.PC Bangs are public gaming rooms with powerful computers and fast internet links.Visitors pay by the hour to use the computers.Mr.Woo,a member of the country's Federal Game Institute,said that "the total number of people who go to [watch] pro basketball,baseball and soccer put together is the same as the number of people who go to watch pro game leagues. "Mr. Woo also estimated that 10 million South Koreans regularly follow eSports (Schiesel).
Industries Adapt
Some industries and companies that specialize in experiential design have realized the need to adapt to the video game culture and have done just that.Blockbuster has never been a competitor in the video game industry until its recent "Game Rush" store-within-a-store concept (Desjardins).Blockbuster began selling video games in the beginning of 2004,and during the first six months of that year,"the chain generated $172 million in video game sales compared with only $120 million during the first six months of 2003." Video game sales "accounted for 26% of total merchandise sales in stores during that time," making the movie rental giant a new competitor in the video game industry (Desjardins).Mobile phone companies have also realized the need to attract gamers and have created phones with Bluetooth capabilities allowing gamers to play video games over this wireless connection.
Video games are no longer an "underground" phenomenon,but instead are working their way into the main stream and even influencing trends of major corporations.In a way they have become "More than a game."
