Why gaming is important


Even though the UN has declared gaming as a 'mental illness' and addiction to gaming beyond a limit is indeed unhealthy, gaming has its benefits, as well. Here are three major benefits:

1) Stress buster: Participating in a gaming tournament gives you an adrenaline rush akin to running a 100-metre race. You are jubilant when you win and the cheering makes it even better. Gaming surely releases any kind of stress that you might be bottling up inside. Casual gaming in general, too, is a great way to release stress.

2) Motivation: Motivation from gaming seems to be a far-fetched idea but hear me out. You can restart each time you lose. Games are a great way to motivate yourself. Games can teach you that you can restart even if you fail. It’s not the end.

3) Creativity: Several games require creative skills to be able to play them, and playing them can help you develop creative skills. A study by Michigan State University has said that gaming can develop your creative skills, violent or non-violent.
