Has the Covid-19 pandemic changed the public perception of gaming? 

The Covid-19 pandemic, an unparalleled worldwide emergency, has had a lasting impact on societies around the globe, fundamentally changing not just our methods of work, socializing with others, education and much more. But one area that was affected was digital entertainment, as researchers have found that people spent more time in front of screens and used digital leisure more during the pandemic. This was especially true for online gaming and related activities like video game streaming (Claesdotter-Knutsson et al. 2022). People who typically frequent cyber cafes, arcades, or engage in outdoor activities were constrained by the enforced lockdown. Consequently, to combat boredom, individuals turned to digital media, with a significant number of teenagers leaning towards video games. The Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically changed the way people view gaming, transforming it into an essential means of connecting with others, finding enjoyment, and relieving stress. People's perspectives on video gaming have been drastically shifted because of the worldwide spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, which has made gaming a crucial means of connecting with others, finding happiness, and reducing stress. 

Despite the strict measures implemented to control the spread of the virus, there was a major shift in the social dynamics of gaming.  According to Laato et al. (2020), the ongoing struggle amongst game creators to encourage individuals to remain at home. Several additional creators and publishers of multiplayer and single player games organized exclusive events, rewards, and promotions for players during the pandemic, aiming to encourage them to stay indoors. The online worlds of popular games have evolved beyond basic forms of amusement, serving as vital platforms for sustaining social connections. Because of their potential to bring individuals together in a shared virtual world, they have developed into a valuable tool for communication and collaborative activities. This has resulted in enhanced efficiency and team efficiency, as well as reduced costs and an environmental footprint (Javaid et al., cited in López-Cabarcos et al. 2020). According to King (cited in Claesdotter-Knutsson 2022), Steam, which is the leading digital distribution platform for video games, recorded a record-breaking 20 million active users in 2020. In my own experience, there was a game called “Among us” that emerged during the pandemic, and it was a one hit wonder, players worldwide liked its manipulative game mechanics and appealing social interactions. 

Before the pandemic, the changing points of view of gaming during the epidemic also challenged existing biases connected to the gaming community. Previously, gamers were frequently stereotyped as isolated beings, disconnected from reality. However, as gaming gained widespread popularity as a sociable and recreational activity during lockdowns, these views started to dissolve.  According to Claesdotter-Knutsson et al. (2022), the World Health Organization (WHO) has supported gaming as a means to encourage social distancing and reduce feelings of loneliness. This support is visible through the gaming industry's media campaign, #PlayApartTogether, which combines COVID-19 prevention guidelines with messages promoting online gaming. With the shifting perception of video games being an isolated activity, they are Streaming platforms, which allow viewers to see video gameplay in real-time, have become important in recent times. The changing idea of video gaming as an isolated activity has been particularly noticeable during the pandemic, especially with the increasing popularity of streaming platforms.   These services, which let spectators observe gameplay as it happens, have grown in importance, compromising the traditional idea of gaming as an isolated activity.   Therefore, sports companies are attempting to incorporate streaming into their digital marketing strategies to impact consumers' decisions to purchase their products (Pearson, cited in López-Cabarcos et al. 2020). 

As people get used to the changing world of video games, a very important question comes up about how these changes will affect people after the pandemic is over? Although the acknowledgment of gaming's social, recreational, and educational aspects has increased significantly, it is unclear whether these changes will continue or if they were only temporary reactions to the unique circumstances of the pandemic.  According to López-Cabarcos et al. (2020), The gaming and eSports sector has shown adaptability and continued growth, even within the COVID-19 pandemic. Gaining a thorough understanding of the operation of this sector is essential, as all signs point to significant changes happening soon. Predicting these changes is reasonable, regardless of the development of the pandemic. 

In conclusion, the Covid-19 pandemic has unquestionably changed the way the general population views gaming, shifting it from a formerly mocked recreational activity to a fundamental component of everyday lifestyle. According to Niilsson et al. (2022), Gaming and social media consumption are generally popular recreational activities among people of all ages, particularly teens, and there is a significant risk of developing problematic behaviors associated with these activities. Hence, it is advisable to acknowledge the symptoms and carefully monitor individuals in order to support them in identifying and applying adequate coping methods to tackle the challenges coming from the COVID-19 epidemic.

Epidermal Growth Factor Is An Anti-Aging Beauty Hero

On beauty shelves, there are skin care ingredients that have an obvious origin — like blueberry extract and clay — and those that seem to come from a sci-fi movie. In the latter category, epidermal growth factor (EGF) would probably top the list.

The skin care ingredient is actually something your body already produces. Essentially, EGF is a molecule in your skin that starts to decrease in your twenties. “From birth until adulthood, our bodies produce these signaling proteins called growth factors,” says Dr. Björn Örvarm, PhD, a plant molecular biologist and chief scientific officer of BIOEFFECT, a beauty brand whose star serum uses EGF as its main ingredient. “These proteins communicate with cells [and] send messages to repair and rejuvenate.” A more digestible way of putting it? “Think of EGF as musical conductors instructing all the different cells how and when to perform in harmony,” says Örvarm.

Though it’s been increasingly added to skin care formulas over the past couple of years, EGF is not new. “In 1986, Stanley Cohen won the Nobel Prize in Medicine based on his work recognizing the role EGF plays in cellular development by stimulating the growth of epidermal [the outermost layer of skin] cells,” says Anna De La Cruz, educational medical esthetician and formulator for brand Glo Skin Beauty. After that, research into EGF continued through the 2000s, she explains — first into medical-based applications and later into cosmetics, all because of its reparative powers.

If this sounds like collagen to you, that’s because the two are very similar. You lose EGF and collagen as you age, explains Dr. Loretta Ciraldo, MD, FAAD, a Miami-based board-certified dermatologist and founder of Dr. Loretta skin care. And using both ingredients in your beauty routine can boost the strength of your skin — though in different ways. Read on for expert intel on how these mysterious growth factors in skin care can benefit your complexion.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Bustle's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

The Benefits Of EGF In Skin Care

When used topically, EGF’s main perk is as an anti-aging superhero. “EGF shows the most benefits in photo-damaged skin with pigmentary issues and fine lines and wrinkles” says Ciraldo. Studies have also shown it reduces pore size and dark spots as it improves your skin texture, so consider adding it to your regimen if you’re battling hyperpigmentation.

Applying EGF topically stimulates your collagen levels, which is another reason why it’s an MVP for skin-smoothing concerns. “[EGF] will turn on receptors to accelerate collagen production and reportedly signal other changes we associate with healthy youthful skin,” Ciraldo adds. This is where the ingredient differs from collagen in beauty product formulas: EGF penetrates the skin and ups your collagen levels, says Ciraldo, while collagen is too big of a molecule to penetrate topically into your skin. “For this reason, collagen is classified as more of a moisturizing ingredient than a wrinkle improver,” she explains.

Growth factors are also incredibly strengthening. “I would say EGF is the ultimate ingredient for repair,” says De La Cruz, who explains it accelerates wound healing and promotes skin renewal. Since your complexion gets thinner as you age, EGF swoops in to counteract this by leading to the development of thicker skin, she says. Ciraldo adds that “EGF is reported to help in the production of elastin and keratinocytes in the epidermis.” Those are two components that keep your skin strong and plump.

Where Does EGF Come From?

There are all sorts of rumblings about where EGF comes from — including the rumor about being taken from foreskin — but there are essentially two common methods of sourcing the ingredient. The first is by producing it in bacteria, and the second is using extracted human or animal cells... the latter of which presents ethical, moral, and legal issues, says Örvarm.

Recently, there have been developments that have allowed for vegan EGF sourcing, says De La Cruz. If you’re looking for an EGF product that is not animal-sourced, Ciraldo recommends looking for labels marked as cruelty-free, Leaping Bunny certified, and vegan. These are typically derived from barley and a tobacco-like plant, she explains.

How To Use EGF In Skin Care

The good thing about EGF is it plays well with other beauty ingredients, so it’s easy to incorporate into your routine. Ciraldo says to determine the application time and frequency based on the actual product you get. Some serums can be applied twice a day while certain EGF eye treatments are meant to be used a couple of times a week. “It’s best to follow the directions on the particular formula you’re using,” she tells Bustle.
