How did you venture into the online gaming space? Which online games do you play regularly? What gaming platforms do you primarily use? (PC, console, mobile) How many hours do you typically spend gaming each week?
Online gaming I started during covid but I have been gaming since I was a kid. Started with our OG retro games like Super Mario and so. Then Wii, Nintendo, Xbox then finally PlayStation when I first played Fortnite. Later I shifted to PC. I play fortnite, valorant, apex legends and a bunch of horror games.
For how many years have you been playing online games?
4 years
What are your educational qualifications?
I graduated in B. Mass Media
What skills do you think are required to play online games?
Focus, competitive, calm
Does playing online game form part of your daily life? is it a part of your livelihood?
Yes, it is. Not a single day goes by that I dont play.
What are your preferred kind of online games? What factors do you consider before putting money into any online game?
I love fortnite. I've put a lot of money into Fortnite skins. Some skins are honestly just too cute and it's just cosmetics unlike Valorant some skins can be pay-to-win.
What skills are required to succeed in an online gaming tournament?
Strategic thinking under pressure
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?
Yes. Many times payments aren't paid on time and it really sucks.
Community Engagement: Do you actively participate in gaming communities or forums? How important do you think community engagement is for the online gaming community?
It is important to engage with your community, community is your family.
What do you think about addiction and dependency on online gaming?
Addiction in anything can be mind-breaking. It's important to know that these games are just games, they aren't real, it's a great escape. I have been gaming so much lately I might have forgotten social skills in real life but still have online social skills and that's bad.
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?
I do think there should be some restrictions to what people can say to others when they are raging, bad-mouthing. People can be extremely abusive at times.
If there is one thing about the online gaming industry you can convey to the government, what would it be?
Honestly it's not that easy. If our country's economy were better everyone would have a PC for themselves and gaming community would have been far better than just mobile gaming.
Are there any tournaments you have won or gaming achievements you would like to share with us?
not really they were mostly just streamer showdowns
