When it comes to video games, people always have the assumption that it’s for kids and “nerds.” Playing video games has had a negative stigma attached for a very long time too, especially if you’re an adult who likes to play. You’re either very immature or you live at home with your parents… and you don’t have a job!
Well, that isn’t the case at all. Television hasn’t done too good of a job disproving that stereotype with shows like The Big Bang Theory. It’s a show about a group of male friends with notable careers (physicists, engineer, and astronomer). The highlights of the show are their love for comic books, video games, and girls… and of course one of them lives with his mom.
Don’t Believe the Hype!
Although some of those stereotypes may hold true, that’s not the case for everyone. There are so many different people who love to play video games, and they don’t fit into that stereotype of people. Some of the most successful people and people you never thought of, play video games. Do you know why? Because gaming is actually good for your health.
Some people play video games as a stress reliever and some people play games to step away from the harsh realities of the world for a little while. However you choose to look at it, it helps with your cognitive abilities for sure… studies have proven that.
Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is
The gaming industry is a lucrative business and has raked in sales larger than the box office. In fact, the first half of 2018, the video game Far Cry outsold the movie Black Panther in sales during their first week of releases by $18 million dollars. A video game pulling in those types of sales should make you want to at least see what all the fuss is about!

The only difference between the characters on TV and movies from video game characters is that you are in control of what they do and the actions they make.
