Gaming Knows No Frontiers
Gaming Cosmopolis
The gaming landscape has become an universal scenario where players from every corner of the world reckons to share and compete against each other, this is what we call the gaming cosmopolis.
The term “cosmopolitan” persé, comes from the greek “kosmos” (universe) and “politas” (citizen); hence, a cosmopolitan is a citizen of the universe. A cosmopolis then is, by extension, a society formed by cosmopolitans. Now, online gaming is an intrinsic cosmopolitan practice, and it is of upmost importance for every gamer to understand their reach and impact within the community. Frontiers are no longer a barrier; for gaming is the language we speak.
What is a “Lingua Franca”?
By definition a lingua franca refers to the adoption of a common language between speakers whose native language is different; in the gaming universe that language is english and the most popular slang terms such as “gg”, “gf”, “lol” or “meta” are also rooted in this lingua franca.
