    While I do like movies, I find myself playing more games than movies. This is due to most of the movies coming out not being to my personal taste; whereas I can always find a game that is just right. It helps that games are interactive and not just static experiences, like films.

    I’m sure people will see this and think things like “Oh well, of course they would have you seen the quality of movies lately?” or “Well Gen Z tend to be more social than previous generations so that probably is a factor”.

    While true, I wonder how much of it is due to engagement? Gen Z is the first generation who grew up primarily on technology. We’ve all seen parents who just give their kids their phones or tablets and let them sit there quietly for hours. It tends to lead to hyperactive minds and movies wouldn’t satisfy that kind of person (usually). Games definitely would though.
