The Importance of Social Interaction in Online Games

The population of large games is like only China and India would have larger populations. Candy Crush has 500 million daily players each at one point or Fortnite has 350 million registered accounts. I might not care about either the game mechanics or the story and really just want to be co-present with other people online. Still other pleasures are environmental exploration, lore production or completing every single challenge in a game even beyond the major events or quests.
