So it's nice to hear that game shows are becoming more popular with video gamers. Or at least that's what "jamiemoses288" thinks. To be honest, Jamie (that's what I'll call the writer) doesn't offer any stats to bolster the case that video gamers are suddenly consumed with interest in Wheel of Fortune or Press Your Luck. But Jamie does point out a few similarities between video games and traditional game shows.
Some of the obvious crossovers are casino games based on TV game shows. Jamie mentions Deal or No Deal, but lots of other shows have crossed the line. And the line gets blurrier every time somebody tries an online casino game with a live host. But the linked article saves the most obvious similarity for the final paragraph...
Last but not least, both gaming and game shows offer the chance for players to win money. Playing casino games gives members the opportunity to scoop jackpots or make a modest sum, whereas the same is true for players at game shows.
Yes, Jamie, greed is a powerful motivator. Easy money usually looks good to even the most austere people.
