digital interactive environments that provide users (players) with structured and unstructured social frameworks for establishing, maintaining and developing social connections through joint activities, communication and the achievement of common goals. Video games are a modern and effective means of interpersonal communication, which provides a unique synthesis of joint activities, various communication channels and opportunities for building meaningful social relationships, often blurring the boundaries between “virtual” and “real” communication. However, overindulging in video games can lead to digital addiction and social isolation in real life, as people may prefer interacting with virtual characters to building real-life relationships.
