Game developers know that people have more fun when they're in large groups. They feel more fired up when the challenges are more epic.

Every game we play activates our brain, and it's the same brain we have in real life as we have in the game.

Clinically speaking, depression is a pessimistic sense of your own capabilities, and despondent lack of energy.

When we play a game, we tackle tough challenges with more creativity, more determination, more optimism, and we're more likely to reach out to others for help.

Research shows that when we're under stress or facing a major obstacle, we tend to focus on our weaknesses and what we're afraid of.

Compared with games, reality is disconnected.

There is no problem that doesn't have some underlying need for more optimism, stamina, resilience and collaboration. And games are, I believe, the best platform we have for providing that.
