Does playing online game form part of your daily life? is it a part of your livelihood?
yes its part of my daily life. 1. Cause you get to play with your favorite friends. where no matter you win or loose but fight like a team. 2. In online games, even if you're tired or not in the mood to play, you still socialize with your friends more than on social platforms. 3. Games are incredibly realistic and versatile. Beyond just enjoyment, you experience something new every day.
What are your preferred kind of online games? What factors do you consider before putting money into any online game?
My Preffered game :- Battle Royals like : PUBG, & Survival Games like : Pal world & Minecraft. factors i do consider before putting money : 1. number of players playing that game. 2. how much i love that game..... 3. The experience i will gain from that game. only this things cause i know putting money in games to buy skins is waste... cause after every 6 months we got to see a very good game & people shift to that game ( except some games like Minecraft, GTA, Pubg etc ) , but spending money to purchase a good game like Black Myth WuKong is worth it cause these types of games give you amazing experience.

Have you ever experienced financial fraud or scams related to online gaming? What measures do you think should be implemented to prevent financial exploitation in online gaming?
Gaming companies themselves are running the biggest scam. I've seen thousands of players who spend money on in-game purchases like skins, RP, etc., only for their accounts to get unfairly banned without any valid reason, simply being labeled as cheaters using hacks. Even if I have proof and am innocent, I can't do anything because, in the name of customer support, we only get a chatbot with automated responses. So, I believe we need a reform, and this system must be regulated. If a game accuses a player of cheating and bans their account, the company should be responsible for providing proof or a clip showing that the system detected cheating behavior.
Community Engagement: Do you actively participate in gaming communities or forums? How important do you think community engagement is for the online gaming community?
no i dont.
What do you think about addiction and dependency on online gaming?
playing games is no longer just an Gaming; it's a virtual world. When someone becomes addicted, they essentially disconnect from the real world. & this is the biggest problem i faced in real life. 1) i used to play 10 hours daily but because of this i didn't know where the 6 years of my life gone ? it feels like illusion. i asked my self what i did ? i actually had a good experience but where ? in a virtual world ? 2) This doesn't only cost time, but also money, which never gets returned and isnā€™t considered an asset. 3) Those who become more addicted often experience irritability, health problems, anger issues, headaches, and other real-world challenges. We also have no research or data on the long-term impacts of gaming, especially what it could do after 30 years of continuous play..
Are you aware of the existing laws and regulations related to online gaming in your country? Do you think there should be more regulations to protect gamers' rights and safety online?
no i am not aware. there is lack of awareness
If there is one thing about the online gaming industry you can convey to the government, what would it be?
1) Gaming companies should be required to provide transparency, especially when it comes to banning players. There should be clear evidence or proof, such as clips, 2) if a player is accused of cheating. Additionally, the impact of excessive gaming on mental and physical health should be studied more. 3) There should be a monthly spending limit on games to prevent excessive expenditures and ensure players are not financially exploited.
