Video game communities organise themselves and discuss games in a range of social gatherings. A good way to help children find others to play with, or to ask questions if they get stuck, is to find the Discord groups focused on the game.
Establishing these wider gaming conversations as something you do together with your child also ensures that if anything unsettling or unexpected happens in these conversations, your child is more likely to tell you about it.
As well as being places to connect with players who share a passion about a game, or to ask questions, social networks are also used by players to organise teams and training for competitive experiences.
