    Why do you game?


    I am a gamer and a PhD student in psychology at the University of Cambridge, and I am studying the reasons people play games and the way games can affect mood and stress. I'm really lucky to be able to spend the next few years studying the psychology of
    games and the future of virtual reality!

    Part of my study involves getting an idea of the most common reasons people decide to play games. If you would like to help out, you can take a quick survey that only takes about 5 minutes to complete:

    http://cambridge.eu.qualtrics.com//SE/?SID=SV_0pOknOGWB4hqsND     You do have to be over 18 to participate, but it's all completely anonymous, and I'm just trying to get a sense of the common reasons people play.

    Thanks for your help!

    :)

    So why do you..

    [quote user="WorstedOrphan"]

    Playstation Plus users pay for early demos, discounts and XBL GOLD get early demos and we get deal of the week so there isnt a different between PS Plus and Gold XBL.

    Yeah, there is... Free games, Beta Access, Free DLC, Free Theme, etc dished out with PS+ .

    XBL Gold just gives discounts on stuff and the ability to play online/party chat.



    Out of the 2 I'd say PS+ is the better value by far, but I don't begrudge paying for XBL, so I'm not complaining... it's just the way it is...



    I'm sure someone will be along to flame me, disagree, have a go, but tbh, thems the facts.

    why do you game?

    Videogames are the best, it always bring me joy and I wish to make games that did the same for me. It has grown so much with esports, streamers, and companies. So I game, the more i play the more I get better and have even more fun.

    why do you game?

    I game, because it is one of the few things that run as quickly as my mind does, and gives me a cognitive challenge. Plus i like stories
