Digital games attract not only children and young people, but also adults, as they provide a fun time. In addition to amusement, the virtual world of gaming provides an opportunity for self-development and escape from the responsibilities of the real world. While playing these games, which have many different types, the gamers can get the information about the brand in their minds in a fun and positive environment, and they also witness the interactive advertising messages of the business.
