Study reveals that playing video games as a family is better

We still remember a lot about the time when video games were thought of as a passing fad, but since they gained much more strength in the 80's the industry is stronger than ever, and today it is the entertainment market that has the most income it generates each year, beating cinema and music. And although it may be thought that they are just simple tools to nourish leisure, they can also be considered as objects that help in personal relationships, especially with the family.

According to what was recently reported in a study carried out by a Spanish Video Game Association (AEVI), 80% of parents of this era (at least in Spain) think that playing video games as a family makes bonds stronger than with other types of entertainment. Whether in parents and children, siblings, cousins ​​and even grandchildren with grandparents. It doesn't matter what type of video game it is, there are even aspects in which users must put themselves into competitive thinking.

Likewise, beyond parental ties, it is thought that certain types of video games would develop intelligence better, where RPG genres and also puzzles predominate, which is why parents usually share these experiences with their children, among others. they Tetris. And of course, the study has even considered making some type of proposal to go to the educational part and that certain schools incorporate games with a degree of logic for pedagogy.

Also in the data collected, they mention that a large part of the respondents play modestly, that is, they take up a few hours of their day to play for work or school reasons. As examples, we have time periods of half to two hours a day. . Likewise, video games have helped people socialize, since in online games people have found people with similar tastes and transfer that to real life, even romantic partners have been created through games.
