The games are usually played on high-end systems such as personal computers and dedicated video game consoles. Massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) have become very popular in recent years, especially among young people.
Simulation Games:
Simulation games are used to create a virtual environment where players can experience events similar to real world situations. In other words, simulation games are designed to replicate the experience of playing a game in which the outcomes depend on external factors such as player skill and chance. The most common types of simulation games include sports, car racing, board gaming and card gaming among others.
Application Insights:
The MMORPG segment dominated the global online game market in terms of revenue share in 2021. The high penetration of this segment can be attributed to the fact that this category of games offers various features that are attractive for different age groups across the globe. Moreover, MMOs have a larger player base as compared to other games and hence generate higher revenues for developers and publishers.
