This is an interesting topic. The community behind games and the relationships that form around them is intriguing, and I am excited to see how you explore that realm. Beyond mentioning how gamers interact with each other, it also would be worth it to discuss how games cultivate community through rhetoric. For instance, the creation of “guilds” in games like World of Warcraft force the player to collaborate with others, as it is much more advantageous. Also, forcing a player to pick a team in games like Pokemon Go is going to create a sense of camaraderie as well as a sense of competition. I think you picked a great topic.
