How does the perception of “modernity” and “social status” change based on the games people

The other day I caught myself thinking about how people judge others by the games they play. It started when I visited a friend’s place, and his younger cousins were bragging about playing some “high-end” mobile game, acting like it made them cooler than board-game fans. It reminded me of how, years ago, some adults in my family treated traditional games as “old-fashioned” while anything foreign or digital seemed more “modern.” It’s funny how just switching a game can change how people look at you, like it somehow reflects your status or lifestyle. Do you think games really influence that kind of perception, or is it just social pressure doing its thing?

I think it definitely plays a role, and I remember reading https://opgram.com/how-a-foreign-game-became-more-indian-than-india/ where they mentioned how people once saw imported card games as more “sophisticated” compared to traditional ones. That really resonated with me because in my own family, playing certain modern apps was seen as being more “up to date,” while older games were treated like something only grandparents cared about. It’s weird how games can turn into symbols of status even when they’re just meant for fun. But yeah, social perception shifts fast — what seems modern today might look outdated in just a few years.

Just passing through the forum and noticed this topic — it’s an interesting angle I haven’t seen discussed much. I think people often attach meanings to hobbies without even realizing it. Sometimes it’s about trends, sometimes about what’s popular in a friend group, and sometimes just about convenience. I’ve seen friend circles where playing simple card games is considered totally normal, and others where only competitive online games feel “cool.” It’s funny how flexible these ideas are depending on who you’re around.
