In a typical scenario, the idea of parents and gaming might conjure up an image of a father playing Solitaire. However, as humorously put by a Reddit user, “Dad plays solitaire, while Mom manipulates dad’s feelings,” illustrates that gaming today is evolving into something deeper. Beneath their tranquil facades, many parents are immersing themselves in the world of gaming, even though they may not sport the title of ‘gamer’. From simple games like Candy Crush to intricate RPGs such as Skyrim, these parents might not don the ‘gamer’ badge, but they’re wholeheartedly partaking in the current gaming culture.
The convenience offered by mobile gaming is one reason why many parents are embracing it. For instance, a parent might prefer games like Candy Crush Saga or word puzzles that easily blend into their daily routine.
