"In Russia, a generation of gamers has grown up and already influences a large part of business, culture, education, politics, and other areas. The social and cultural impact of video games is so significant that it cannot be ignored. Therefore, it is important to understand from a psychological and behavioral point of view how through gaming experience, more opportunities are created for social interaction and the formation of future generations." - Vasily Ovchinnikov, Head of the Video Game Industry Development Organization, Candidate of Sociological Sciences
