📝 Over 80% of Players Report In-Game Persona Differs From Reality

Fandom's Inside Gaming Report 2024 delves into gaming's evolution, revealing its impact on self-expression and brand interaction. Explore key findings and marketer opportunities.

What’s Going On Here? 

Fandom's 2024 gaming report reveals a significant trend: over 80% of gamers feel that their in-game persona differs from reality, showcasing gaming as a platform for self-expression and identity exploration. The report highlights a growing desire among gamers to express themselves creatively within virtual worlds, with titles like Minecraft, Fortnite, and Roblox offering extensive customization options.

What Does This Mean?

This trend indicates a fundamental shift in the way gamers perceive and interact with virtual environments. Gaming is no longer just about entertainment; it's a means for individuals to explore their identities, express themselves creatively, and feel empowered. With gamers increasingly prioritizing self-expression, brands have an opportunity to align their products and messaging with this desire, particularly in the fashion, beauty, and gaming industries.

Why Should I Care?

Understanding this trend is crucial for marketers and brands looking to connect with the gaming audience. By recognizing gaming as a platform for self-expression and identity exploration, brands can create meaningful experiences that resonate with gamers on a deeper level. Whether through product partnerships, community building, or immersive storytelling, brands have the opportunity to tap into the emotional connection that gamers have with their virtual identities, ultimately driving engagement and loyalty.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

Check out a hybrid action game combining fast-paced combat and an on-chain MMORPG set in the cyberpunk dystopia of Warpgate City in our two featured reviews:

Shadow War’s alpha stage playtest offered an enjoyable and stable experience, with minor tweaks on character moment sound. The graphics are good, and the characters' special abilities look well done. The diversity of the different classes bring fun and excitement. If the team creates more maps for the next phase with also different game modes then they have a chance of disrupting the hero shooter genre in web3.

The graphics in Chain Crisis meet reasonable standards but have occasional bugs like a sword showing a gun handle. Audio design needs improvement, particularly for the final boss's attacks and movements lacking sound effects. Overall, achieving a rating of 4/10, as it underperforms compared to others in its genre.
