State of Online Games in 2022
It’s a growing world, and more and more folks are playing games, whether on their phones, on home computers, or even at arcades and casinos. See, regardless on what we might think a game is, everything I mentioned above is some sort of electronic game, making them effectively, video games.
Despite some games having more to do than others, they all do fall under one umbrella. And that wide definition of the word gamer or video game is A-OK with me, and you want to know why? The more people playing games in 2022 the better. It’s better for the products we receive, it’s better for the fans, and it’s better for you!
While we will take a look at all video games, it’s worth reiterating that anything that involves video screens and some sort of functionality is a game. That means single button press games like the Telltale Series count, as well as casino games, even those that offer an online casino bonus . You might not be paying for the chips you are using, but it’s still a video game. Think of it as free to play!
Thing is, the more games available, the better the products should be, theoretically. With millions of mobile apps available on the market, it’s not too hard in 2022 to find the good ones. And there are a ton, because competition has forced everyone hand, making them create bigger and better games, with more hooks and bonuses for players. That means premium mobile experiences today are much more giving with their bonuses and premium currency than those from 5 or so years ago.
The quality of game is on the rise, and while the iOS App Store and the Google Play store are still filled with so many trash experiences, the overall quality of the games you want to play – like Simpsons Tapped Out, Rise of Nations, etc. – is much better.
Lots of games is also good for the fans. Lots of games means lots of options, so no matter what you want to play, there is likely something for you to try out. For example, our house is divided on our love of games. While one person really enjoys open world, single player experiences, another likes online shooters, and another puzzle games.
With so many devices to play games on, and so many people making games, there is a nice selection. And this is where we discuss casino games as video games. See, I would argue that even my grandparents enjoy games – when they head to the casino they have a great time playing the various video slot games, and video card games? Why? Because at the end of the day, despite their age and that they have no idea what an Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch is, they can still enjoy video games. Isn’t that great?
The better products we receive, the better it is for everyone. And in 2022 that statement has never been more true.
