Do you think gaming is shaping how this generation thinks about logic, competition, and creativity- or is it just reflecting it? 

I think gaming reflects this generation far more than it shapes it. Games are, in a sense, mirrors- built from the collective imagination, desires, and frustrations of the people who play them. The logic in modern games mirrors how we think: fast, parallel, always multitasking.  That constant flow of information and decision-making feels familiar because it comes from our own lived reality -a reality filled with choices, distractions, and a constant need to adapt quickly. Gaming doesn’t create that rhythm; it translates it into play. The creativity we see in game design, from open worlds to nonlinear storytelling and the moral choice systems, all of this comes from a generation that questions structure and values freedom. Even competition in gaming feels less about domination and more about self-expression; people now play not only to prove themselves and their skills, but also to find community.

So, I see gaming as a kind of cultural feedback loop. It doesn’t tell us how to think – it reveals how we already do. Every mechanic, every narrative choice, is a reflection of our priorities as a society: our collective and constant pursuit of excellence, which drives our very progress.
