12 Comments on Logitech G Partners with Riot Games to Unveil League of Legends Co-branded Gaming Peripherals
Drinking is socially accepted addiction, known to inflict damage to organs etc., known to be a catalyst for violent behaviour, the list is pretty long, all well documented and researched. It is also a social endeavour highly sought after. With drinking often comes interaction and even serves to open interaction with different people.
Gaming is socially accepted addiction, known to have an effect on our physique, mental states, and has psychological influences, both good and bad. It is also however a vehicle for self-motivated learning, for motor skills, eye/hand coordination, social skills and interaction much like drinking, organizational competences, processing information etc.
So really, gaming's doing pretty well if you compare it to the most common socially accepted addictive behaviour. But let's expand on the term addictive some more.
Working is socially accepted and even mandatory addiction. People are literally addicted to work. When they are out of work, they get itchy, uncomfortable, can even experience physical and mental stress and unease. When people work too much, they can work themselves to death. It happens, it is documented and researched. Work also slowly damages physique and depending on what work you do can damage internal organs. Work is also a vehicle for learning, building (life) experience, a social network.
Funny how it all looks like everything else once you bring a definition back into perspective, isn't it?
Now rewind to 30-40 years back. I think we're pretty tame as we are today.
Now people sit behind a screen, doing social nonsense, not drinking and not smoking while at it. Overweight, yes. But this seems very specific to certain income groups. On the other end you have a growing mass of 'fit' girls and boys. Haves and have nots? Who knows, time will tell, but overweight is much more present in low incomes and low education levels. Its unrelated to social activity really.
LoL is popular among us Japanese, but actually it's not as popular as it is in South Korea.
Playing the game, perhaps. Some Japanese streamers are still streaming LoL on a regular basis these days. Or perhaps buying resin figures for collections or decorations.
Buying LoL-themed PC peripherals or any anime-related pheriperals in general? Don't bet on it.
Not to mention oversized mouse pad doesn't sell as many as regular pads here. There are a few people who want to buy things like that, but regular mouse pads like Logicool G240 and G440 remain favorites.
The worst thing about anime-related or K-wave things like that is that many people are still thinking that putting anime characters on a product will make it sell like hot cakes and us Japanese customers will always buy it. People being naive, I guess? Just because we're known for our manga and anime culture doesn't mean we always use it everytime, all the time. The same thing goes for K-wave. As a native Japanese (and a native of Tokyo) I'm always amused why many people kept thinking like that. We Japanese are being homogenous since ancient times, but in reality, we are very, very diversed in terms of personal preferences and tastes.
