Digital gaming was a commonality for multiple people globally. Those who are passionate or addicted will experience abundant enjoyment in playing them. Video games, including gaming devices, have features like higher frame rates and screen resolutions. This will constantly happen for years. The commonality of video games is rather questionable.

In the early and mid-1900s, board and card games became commonplace for those who like to have fun. Sports (for example, basketball and tennis) also became typical for outdoor activities. Even children are having fun playing outdoors in playgrounds. The fun doesn’t fade away.

Starting from the early 1980s, video games came into existence. They allow people to have fun indoors, as well as replace activities that could be reckless or dangerous (especially if the weather could become bad). The popularity of video games sluggishly thrives as more video games and gaming devices are debuted. Three decades later, video games partially took the place of sports, outdoor activities, and ordinary board and card games. Additionally, the commonality of video games is higher than it was in the 1980s. Gaming apps, computers, smartphones, and battery-powered gaming consoles escalated the popularity of gaming abundantly.

The upsides of video games are decreased messiness, minimal choking hazards, and uninterrupted fun (especially if the weather is bad). The downsides of video games are health problems (for instance, eye strains, dizziness, and seizures) and addictions. People must be careful of how long they should play video games.

In the early 2020s and above, the deadly coronavirus pandemic greatly and abundantly increased the commonality of video games. This means people will enjoy playing video games almost indefinitely (addiction could ensue). When this happens, people are unable to go to school, work (unless video gaming is their career), and family groups. This is influencing people globally.

Fortunately, medical assistance, time restrictions, and boot camps further minimize or eliminate the expanding video game addiction.

Video games have gone a lengthy path to becoming popular with an infinite number of people. Everyone loves gaming because of their passion, and their gladness will ensue! Looks like video games have outdone ordinary physical games (but not entirely)! Video gaming is fun, as long as the addiction doesn’t get out of control.
