The history of online games goes way back to the time when the very first computers that were of mainframe types were invented. As and when the new computers were designed and built, in order to test them, games were developed. Then came the networking. When networks were constructed, more games were developed to put them to test too. As and how the internet, systems, and digitalization kept evolving: they were all tested with the help of games. Even, there are top free mobile online games to play that you do not need to download.

There are numerous reasons for the rise of online games.

The games were developed to suit that type of evolution and from a scientist in NASA to the students and professors in the MIT, people started playing online games.

Some Statistics about Online Gaming

A few years ago, there was a survey done by the State of Online Gaming, according to which the worth total of the online gaming industry throughout the world was 70.4 million dollars in the year 2013. From the entire world’s population which was 7.1 billion, almost 1.2 billion were playing games at the end of the same year. In this 700 million gamers were online gamers.

The people who played online games consisted of teenagers, both boys, and girls as well as adults. You might be surprised to know that quite a few senior citizens were also into online gaming.

Why Is Online Gaming Becoming More Famous Day By Day
Basically, games are played in order to keep people entertained in their leisure time. You might play games online just to pass the time because you are bored or sometimes because you want to escape from the day-to-day challenges you face.

Nonetheless, the reason is not limited just for passing the time and escaping boredom. There is more to the popularity of online gaming. Here are some reasons that are making online gaming popular:

1. A Wide Range of Games

Several game genres for you to choose

Gamers look for various options to choose from in case they are bored of playing a certain game. Online gaming offers this as you can get several games just in a single category. Some of the categories that you can choose from are as follows:
Adventure games
Shooting games
Ball games
Car games
Casino games
Fighting games
Puzzle games
Sports games
Educational games
All these categories again have different levels of games from easy for beginners to difficult level for experts. This keeps all the types of gamers interested in playing online games. There are lots of .

Apart from all these categories of games, you have games that will help in building your personality. These are the games meant for increasing your skills like decision making, time management, problem-solving, and increase your concentration.

2. Easy to Access

In the conventional sense, if one wanted to play games it used to be required that the gamers had to go to a distant place to play. They had to travel to long distant places and plan it way ahead of their travel. When the casinos were invented people started getting more access to games. All this become very easy when online games were developed. The world of gaming completely changed.

Yeah, you’ve come to the right place!

All that was required now was an internet connection and a device that supported online gaming. This revolutionary step made is very convenient for gamers to access and play games anywhere at any given point in time. More and more devices have been developed, smartphones, tablets, and computers which support online gaming. It has evolved so much that you can play games on your smartphones through the apps developed specially for gaming. The internet has evolved equally which has further made it very easy to access online gaming.

3. Affordable in Nature:

Earlier you had to purchase a console meant for gaming and separate gaming software for this which is very expensive. Not only this, but all such games were valid only for some time. Once the new versions were launched old versions would not be available.

On the other hand, you can buy online games at almost half the price. In fact, there are lots of games that you can download for free and play. When the new version is released, all the player needs to do is just update it on their device.

The update is available either for free or for some minimum price. Moreover, since the emergence of router and monitors for gaming which one can buy for a very reasonable price, gamers can play high-end games for next to nothing.

Since these games are pocket-friendly, they have become very famous among people of all ages. Even, there are more than 1000’s of games that you can play online without the need of downloading them.

4. Helps in Socializing

Games help improve social skills.

In the early days when playing games on devices did not exist, kids would play with each other. They would interact with each other and play games like riding a bicycle, building blocks, and sand castles in the park. Once the computerized games came to the market, kids started playing games alone sitting at home. They stopped going out and interacting with their neighbors and friends. Not only kids but also adults started behaving in the same manner. People started becoming less social.

After the introduction of online gaming, many multi-player games have been developed till now that require interacting with other players. Similar to playing games with other kids in the park, online games are played with other people. You can easily find the best free online games to play on the mobile and PC’s browser on the internet and interact with other gamers through the chat box.

Conclusion:
There have been several complaints from parents all around the world over online gaming that online games are an unhealthy way of interacting. Some say that online gamers are becoming very disconnected from the real social world. However, some suggest that playing online games is far better than playing games sitting in the room. Rather than having a co-player as the system, you can play with another player. In fact, you can play with multiple players. It is possible to make friends from all around the world while playing games online.
