How Video Games Become a High Fashion?
Video games are not merely games but have become high-end fashion in the sense that they are pretty detrimental to defining the prospects of fashion. Fashion and identity can be deemed vital aspects that derive their source in some respects from video games. The usage of gaming and the avatars within them to explore their identities is proof that video games have an influence on people’s lives and are construed as fashion by gamers without shying away from publicly expressing their love and attachment toward them.

According to a survey, there are about 214 million U S consumers who play video games for one hour or more every week. And what is more surprising is that 50% of women play video games regularly.
