Everyone has played video games at some point in their lives, but have you ever noticed the stark difference between the graphics of the games we played before video games and the graphics we have today? Games in the past were very simple. Their graphics weren't that great, but today, games have become so expensive and require so many components. They look so realistic. It feels like we could play them ourselves, and with the help of new technology, we can play those games just like that. It feels like we're playing right there on the spot. All this technology is so beneficial for today's youth, because all this used to happen a long time ago, or it didn't exist at all.
The first game that used to be there was a shooting game in which we had to shoot at a blue dot, and that was the first game. The first video game came in the computer in 1950. Today games like GTA 5 and FIFA cost at least 150-200 crore rupees to make, so how much money would they earn? Nowadays people spend a lot of money on games, and nowadays there are tournaments of playing video games in esports in which we can participate and win, so look how much all this has progressed. Now we can understand today's date. Earlier people used to play video games only for entertainment, but today people also play them to earn money and run their household.
Nowadays, a simple video camera is more powerful than an engineer because the video game industry is so demanding. People in esports and abroad are earning so much money that we can't even imagine. Players like scout models earn millions of rupees per month because they just play video games and upload them to YouTube. This has become a very popular option. Plus, our sports games and our esports feature so many different types of games and participants, and the games are great. All this also helps boost the economy of those places. Recently, esports has contributed so much to tourism in Dubai. I can't even speak about its economic growth because so many people came there to watch it that the stadium would have been too small. Can you imagine how impressive the crowd was?
I personally enjoy playing video games and have completed every chapter of GTA 5 and all the missions because I have always loved video games. My parents often told me not to play video games, but I didn't listen to them. I played them every day because they relieved my stress. I enjoyed them and laughed because I didn't have any friends at the time, so I made my computer my friend. I played all kinds of shooting games, games like FIFA, and it was a lot of fun. I had a very good computer at the time, which my brother had brought from Dubai. It was quite expensive, so I had the advantage of having the best computer of my time, which was a great thing for me because I played every single game on it.
The best thing that has happened with video games is that they keep updating their graphics and UI from time to time. That is why everyone keeps getting new items, and when you get new things, you will start trying them more and more. That is why things like video games are getting so beautiful, so who would not want to try them? In today's time, you will find games like God of War and many such games whose graphics are so good that you will be happy after seeing them; you will feel that you are having so much fun playing them. There are football games like FIFA in which you will feel like you are playing a serial player. Just control them, and it will look so beautiful. You will not be able to tell. But is it a real game or a fake one?
If we leave out the PC game and take the mobile game, then there are games like PUBG in which we can play multiplayer, and I have played this game so much at one time that you all will get scared of falling asleep. I used to play it for 10 to 12 hours at a time because we were in India for it, in which we had to play tournaments. BGIS and BMPS, in which we could not play very well, but we used to play, and its minimum grind was only. We used to play for 10 to 12 hours in a day, and we used to have so much fun playing the game that—don't even ask—friends would do it together. In Bali, there isn't as much Krishna these days because everyone is so busy with their lives. But during the COVID-19 lockdown, when everyone was at home, this was especially true.
