The World Health Organization (WHO) has approved the use of computer games to contain coronavirus. WHO supports the #PlayApartTogether gaming industry to help users play computer games during isolation. The choice of online casino games allows you to try new things every day.
A year ago, the World Health Organization included gambling in the international statistical classification of diseases and health problems, recognized gambling as a disease, and emphasized certain symptoms. This year, healthcare is facing a more serious problem-coronavirus, which affects almost every country in the world. Isolating infections is one of the most effective ways to suppress the spread of infections. Isolation is easier to overcome when people are busy dealing with some interesting things at home. In this regard, the computer game industry has suddenly been recognized by the WHO.
The #PlayApartTogether event involves 18 companies closely related to the gaming industry, and it encourages users to choose computer games as leisure activities during isolation. According to organizers, users are isolated when playing computer games, but at the same time, they have the opportunity to communicate with each other and get positive emotions from the communication.
This abnormal situation of the Corona virus has led to an increase in the number of players. This again shows that the game has become popular art. It is no longer possible to meet them from the standpoint of the previous generation, saying that computer games will only cause trouble for children and teenagers. Today, computer games are considered an art form.
Video games can even be compared to the art of cinema, which has an age restriction on the audience. Like movies, games are not only cruel, but also naive and even educational. But at the same time, interest in new areas is temporary; after self-isolation ends, interest may decrease. Many experts are convinced that if people's leisure time is significantly reduced, that is, people go to work instead of staying at home, the number of players decreases. However, during the pandemic, not only will the number of players increase, but the myth that computer games are unhealthy or even dangerous will collapse.
Now people like to visit online cinemas and streaming platforms. In addition, even if they didn't start playing games earlier, many people still started playing computer games. Until recently, there was a widespread stereotype that this pastime only applies to gambling addicts and has not even prevented this situation. Now, this prejudice has been eliminated and the marginalization of the game has been reduced.
However, global epidemics and pandemics themselves have repeatedly become the subject of popular video games. Its developers are unlikely to think of a truly fatal disease outbreak, such as 2019-nCoV. However, games can educate or at least distract panic and immerse players in the virtual world for a while.
According to the expert, the heyday of computer games will end with the end of self-isolation. But during the pandemic, their audience will increase. Take care of your neighbors, family and friends. Compassion is also a cure. Listen to music, read books or play games.
