The gamers also revealed how the gaming industry will change in the future, and the new generation is becoming more interested in games based on mythology. One of the famous farmers, Mithilesh Patankar, stated that he’s happy with how the government recognises their creativity, which allows them to grow in the industry.
PM Modi also touched upon the important debate of gaming vs gambling and asked the gamers if they needed to make such difficult choices in their careers. Animesh Agrawal talked about the technical aspect of the question and wanted to differentiate between RMG and skill-based gaming.
After the interaction, PM Modi was seen playing some games. The gamers appreciated PM Modi’s ability to pick up the skills of the games, and said that they should give the tag of “Namo OP” to the “coolest” Prime Minister.
