Resumen
El presente artículo explora los impactos de los videojuegos, los eSports y las plataformas de transmisiones en vivo en línea. Motivado por la creciente relevancia de los juegos digitales en la cultura contemporánea, la investigación utilizó una metodología exploratoria para descubrir qué se considera cultura en el entorno digital. Frente a esto, las respuestas llevaron a las plataformas de streaming en línea, donde se crean comunidades y otros grupos enfocados en la interacción social a través de los videojuegos y otros juegos digitales en línea. El deseo por un espacio que permita a los jugadores actuar (jugar) libremente, tanto por diversión como como carrera, impulsó el desarrollo de este trabajo científico, que apoya la idea de que este movimiento es saludable y beneficioso, siempre que se utilice dentro de los parámetros destacados en el estudio. Esto busca tranquilizar a quienes ven este fenómeno como una estancación existencial o simplemente degenerativo. Utilizando una metodología que combina investigación de opinión y análisis de datos mediante métodos explicativos y exploratorios, el artículo examina el papel de los juegos en la construcción de comunidades en línea, los lazos de amistad establecidos entre jugadores y el impacto de los eSports en la interacción entre jugadores y fanáticos. El resultado es un análisis detallado de las dinámicas sociales y culturales desde la óptica de la comunicación y la psicología, destacando los aspectos positivos y negativos, además de otras oportunidades ofrecidas por el mundo de los videojuegos.
