The Evolution of Gaming

May 16, 2025

Gaming has become a completely new genre compared to what it used to be. Over the years games were simple, over the years the game developers had to step it up. With so much competition in the community, it became hard to continue playing the same type of game over and over again. Competition keeps the world growing in many ways and this is what it did to the world of gaming as well.

We have seen a rise in games that not only are fun but educate the person playing. Not only are there games that teach but games that let the players pretend they are doing things such as running a business. These types of games stimulate a part of the brain that previous games were unable to. It promotes creativity and passions that might have otherwise been undiscovered. People enjoy playing games that are unique and informative, ones that give you a sense of accomplishment. This is something that has been completely revolutionized within the last few years.

Community is something that people used to seek outside of the home, it was hard to find a way to get community at home. However, as gaming revolutionized so did the way in which humans began to feel connected again. This is especially true ever since the pandemic when everyone was shut inside. There was no way to find a community unless it was online. This came in the form of gaming, and ever since people have stuck to this routine of getting off of work, getting online, and joining the community of like-minded gamers who want to escape through the game they are playing.

As gaming continues to evolve and change, there will be the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in games as well as the continuing interest in Virtual Reality games. There is an infinite number of ways in which people can choose to game, that is why it is something that draws so many millions of people towards it. Many people will not only find their community, but will build something within it that is equivalent to the feeling of doing that outside of the game in their real life.

Gaming has changed in so many ways, from the beginnings of games like Tetris, all the way to current day with open world games with endless opportunities for adventure, it will only continue to expand. The idea of evolution is something that all things need in life, in order to survive, and this goes for gaming as well. There will be no end to the possibilities that games can create just through the community and the creative expressions shown through the game itself.
