“Gaming has a lot of benefits that a lot of people do not want to talk about”

"Everyone in their own game is in a world where they would aspire to live in, either because you can respawn or it’s the world you envisioned for yourself in a different dimension,” said gamer Reut Arye, who goes by ‘Nikki’ online. “It is somewhere where you can be detached from everyday hassle and spend good quality time with your friends.”

Ayre started playing games as a young child and today plays “everything out of anything.” “There are a lot of benefits from gaming that a lot of people do not want to talk about. People think about people being lazy and on the sofa and not doing anything, but it has so much for language, coordination, and teamwork. It makes this so special. Gaming is more than a game,” she said.
