Abstract

This study addresses the transformation of digitalization on gaming communities by examining the social, cultural and economic impacts of digital games. Digital games have evolved from a mere means of entertainment to an ecosystem that strengthens social ties between individuals and communities, fosters cultural production and creates new economic models. The research analyzes the dynamics of live streaming platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and gaming communities such as Fortnite, Roblox, and Minecraft. The study reveals that the sociocultural effects of digital games affect not only the daily lives of individuals but also social and cultural structures at the global level.
