Gamer Animesh Agarwal stated during the conversation that the government ought to acknowledge esports and gaming as legitimate sports. It's a skill-based game; there's no gambling involved. It will be extremely helpful once it is formed and acknowledged by all governmental entities, especially those engaged in financial operations. The industry does not require regulation, as you stated. We have to give it room to grow. The industry will be ready, he said, with a little prodding. The prime minister retorted, "There is no need for regulation of it (gaming and esports). It won't explode until it stays free.
How do you resolve the tension that exists between gambling and gaming? PM Modi questioned the participants in the game.
Many believe that people play video games as a way to kill time, according to Tirth Mehta, a gamer from Gujarat's Kutch region. We play these extremely unique games that most people assume are as simple as ludo. However, that is untrue. We play sophisticated games like chess that need both cerebral and physical abilities. Anshu Bisht discussed the dos and don'ts in gaming, saying, "I advise someone to follow my life path if they want to achieve the same level of success as me." I started a job and went to college to pursue my passion for gaming. I didn't give up on other facets of my life to concentrate only on video games.
There are two divisions in gaming and esports, according to Payal Dhare, the lone female participant in the conversation. You compete against other people in esports. In content production, we create engaging interactive videos featuring games that viewers love. As the conversation came to a close, PM Modi put on a virtual headset and tried playing some video games.
