Do you know why people participate in lots of online games?

By Willie M. Cruz


Everyone believes people might get really enslaved by video gaming. It's always been a question, what motivates gamers into wasting so much of their time playing. Is it fun? Is it complexness? Is it Gameplay perhaps, or it's just that brand new and sparkly Graphics Engine? Moreover, which variety is the most popular, which is the most addicting?

Many of these things may not interest the average gamer directly but they're all actually useful to the businesses building the games. Rinse and repeat. That's what they are doing. They are going to explore, uncover what people enjoy playing and make more of it.

Nevertheless isn't that the challenge? Considering the variety of years of experience, Game Publishers understand specifically what people enjoy playing. Thus, they just don't re-invent the wheel. They generate identical stuff time and time again. They'll customize the game engine to produce better design, the physics and the landscapes shall get even more realistic and rather than driving a bike, we're operating a heavy track before we realize it! The marketplace lacks imagination. That's one thing commonly pointed out nowadays by gamers throughout the world. Well, thankfully.

On the other hand, the market is beginning to change speedily. Flash games have proven to be a goldmine for small to medium companies that discovered their way into the industry and acquired player attention using the web as their principal client resource. The benefits anticipated from a small online game are small in comparison with those of a totally recognized, commercial PC or console game. Small flash games however, are fairly easy to code and they cost you way less. This implies there are thousands of them and thus, players are supplied with a certain assortment.

It's been many of them that made it to the top. There's massive names like Angry Birds, Minecraft and let's not forget to mention less significant but highly sought after games like Neon Rider in the driving games category, Bloons, Mouse Maze, Hotel Online and so many more. The vast availability of online games is extremely important to help us figure out why all of these people prefer hanging out playing uncomplicated, usually free online games rather than dedicate that same time into a traditional video game that includes a storyline, shiny images and certainly more hours and money invested into it's production.

Certainly, there's a small part of those participants that simply wouldn't like to buy a video game and they turn their attention discovering something online for free. Assuming that's the main reason would be simplistic.The reality is that there's a large player base that merely enjoys playing easy games online. That's participants saying a big NO to advanced graphics, no to intensive story lines and scenarios, no to difficult mechanics. They just like things simple. Really simple.

Bringing all these matters into account, we could jump to a conclusion. It is hard to know what drives individuals to play games. There are players that won't even come near a game if the artwork are anything below awesome and there's players that can avoid that very same game as of it's visuals being great. I assume the same thing goes for a game's complexness. Even a storyline, if existent, will make lots of people happy while cause others to click the skip button like mad.

The main point being, which way of thinking shall dominate the industry in the long term? Will convenience win over complex graphics and gameplay? Will online games become anything more than just fun in the future growing into political, thought-provoking, informative media or will they make an effort to match the player with the skip button habit?
