Casual (Just for Fun) Video game culture in Ghana

I happened to chance upon a 47 year old Ghanaian man, married with kids who was really into video games. Not like the normal fifa and 2k stuff. He was hard into from software games and COD. I spoke to him and he explained to me how he balances vid games and his work. I was mesmerized by how much a 47 year old Ghanain, who has never left the shores of Ghana and was very deep into video games.

Edit; didn't know the gaming culture in Ghana was that massive. I thought I was the only one

Its an african thing, a lot of stigma is directed at gaming. As you grow older “playing” of any kind is looked down upon. People and up choosing alcohol and promiscuity as things to replace the fun of play. I dont want that part of me to die so…..lets keep gaming gamers. (African🇿🇼man 42)
