The tactile, tangible and eye to eye experience is overwhelmingly a more compelling alternative, providing a welcome escape from the digital authentication grind.
I suppose it is possible to have an immersive experience playing a game online by yourself, but what really makes us human is the interpersonal experiences we all crave. How can one have a poker face playing online? Isn't a poker face part of the appeal, trying to read your competitor?

Does mind over matter, matters anymore? Isn't there still some significance to mental prowess? Is there a shift in the way we think about the importance of mental resilience, all due in fact, to virtual interactions.
