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?
I've been gaming ever since I was a wee child, from Nintendo rip-offs, to MMOs, to actual Nintendo consoles.
For how many years have you been playing online games?
2004
What are your educational qualifications?
10th grade
Does playing online game form part of your daily life? is it a part of your livelihood?
Yes and yes.
What skills are required to succeed in an online gaming tournament?
It's like any other career, you need to do it with utmost discipline and a learning curve which has a whole industry at its backbone to learn about.
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?
As far as I can see, it wants to as of recent news but maybe not in the way that we would like
What do you think about addiction and dependency on online gaming?
I think most people who are addicted to games don't even know they're addicted. It's a huge problem we face in today's world and people need to learn to live and make gaming a part of their life and not their whole. As long as your everyday responsibilities are filled whilst you are able to game, then it should diminish all the problems that cause dependency on gaming. Dependency is fine as long as it doesn't cross the threshold for being healthy.
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?
Toxicity is definitely one of the biggest concerns. Psychology should be a big part when it comes to gamers so that they can understand what they are doing and how it affects them and the world around them.
If there is one thing about the online gaming industry you can convey to the government, what would it be?
Honestly... Everything needs to happen faster than it has until now, that's all.
