Lockdown legislations heard gamers rejoice worldwide as they’re now given an excuse to be glued to a screen for days at a time. Their online lifestyle, once scorned for being antisocial, is now a social requirement in a corona-filled landscape.

Given the reality of a locked-down world, the online world is the source of all-out pleasure and entertainment – which runs in stark contrary to the advice of our parents to “get off your phones and step outside!”.
