Tactile Gaming

The video game industry extends to real life to satisfy consumer needs
Implications - In the digital age, a bit of tactile entertainment is refreshing. Consumers who feel they've lost touch with the real world are seeking methods of reconnecting with it, yet are not willing to give up the fast-paced, competitive tone of digital entertainment. Tactile gaming allows them to indulge in the best of both worlds. [More]

Game-Based Giving

Focusing charitable causes around gaming to attract more contributions
Implications - The world of video games is a $10.5 billion industry, and it's growing. Brands have recognized its role in marketing and now, social good organizations are recognizing its potential in charitable initiatives. Games offer interaction and engagement, and this is imperative regardless of whether you are selling a product or hoping to raise money for a cause. From encouraging people to contribute by playing games to using games as the basis for charitable auctions and more, the use of games for social causes is continuing to grow. [More]

Branded Racing

Automakers use racing games & campaigns to engage more consumers
Implications - Several automakers are engaging in branded racing games and campaigns to entice new segments of consumers. Studies have shown that Millennials are not as interested in driving as previous generations and many (younger) consumers who enjoy video games often don't have any preference when it comes to the cars they drive. Thus, by releasing branded auto racing games and campaigns, car companies can capture the attention of those in the younger consumer group who would otherwise not pay attention or care about the new cars on the market.

Wellness Gaming

Enhancing health and providing treatment through games
Implications - Video games are still considered by many consumers to be a waste of time, and while that might be the case for some games, there is a growing market for wellness-based games, which actually help to enhance a person's quality of life. These games, whether they're used for stress-relief, treatment, fitness or overall mental health, are products that appeal to people who would never classify themselves as typical "gamers." And therein lies the advantage: by appealing to non-gamers, video game brands can secure an entirely different customer and market segment to augment overall sales. [More]

Immersive Gaming

Larger-than-life game systems provide a full-body and mind experience
Implications - Video games that require the use of only a hand-held controller may not be enough to attract consumers anymore. Technology is paving the way for more full-body games and those that offer incredible simulations, from gigantic gaming floors to sensitive virtual simulation games. Thus, the world of gaming is quickly changing and stimulating the senses is becoming an integral part of the gaming experience. [More]
