Despite what others may argue, avid video game players can develop impressive hand-eye coordination, an improved memory, increased critical thinking abilities, and more recently, money-saving skills, thanks to Blast, a new video game extension.
Blast is compatible with most existing video games including League of Legends and even smaller app-based games like Candy Crush. Players earn digital currency through beating a level or scoring an in-game achievement which can usually be used to make further in-game purchases. Blast stores this money in a digital wallet, and enables players to adjust the settings so that the virtual money gets automatically deposited into their online account.
Blast hopes to offer gamers more financial independence through teaching them important lessons in an entertaining manner.
