According to a survey of the analytical center of the university “Synergy”, Schoolchildren and students who study remotely due to quarantine began to play more video games. Writes about it TASS.
The survey involved 2328 people, of whom 59.8% began to stay longer for games. Moreover, for 47% of this number, the average time spent in virtual worlds increased by an hour or more.
In addition, 23.5% reported that they began to watch more various e-sports programs and broadcasts, and 21% became more involved in online tournaments.
According to Mikhail Pimenov, director of the development of educational programs at the faculty of gaming industry and e-sports of Synergy, Mikhail Pimenov, this is expected. He noted that due to self-isolation, the number of players will only grow, as will the time spent online.
Note that this situation is typical for all countries. Previously, Steam recorded a new record for simultaneous online – 23.4 million users.
