After taking a look at psychological aspects of communication as well as technical aspects of game design and development, this blog entry should combine those topics and analyse how video games can actually benefit communication.
While many young people struggle to fit into society and are faced with prejudices and hate, in online games they can find communities where they are accepted no matter they equity, religion, sexual orientation or other aspects.
Video games are especially a safe space for people:
- On the autism spectrum
- With insecure attachment styles
- With depressive symptoms and social anxiety
- Of the LGBTQ+ community
