Video game culture (more accurately: a subculture) is a worldwide new media subculture formed by video games.

As computer and video games have exponentially increased in popularity over time, they have had a significant influence on popular culture.

Video game culture has also evolved over time hand in hand with internet culture as well as the increasing popularity of mobile games.

Many people who play video games identify as gamers, which can mean anything from someone who enjoys games to someone who is passionate about it.

As video games become more social with multiplayer and online capability, gamers find themselves in growing social networks.

Gaming can both be entertainment as well as competition, as a new trend known as electronic sports is becoming more widely accepted.

Today, the video games can be seen in social media, politics, television, film and music.

A mod (short for "modification") is an alteration where someone, usually a player, takes the code of a video game and changes it.

Mods may range from small changes and simple tweaks to completely new games made within a video game.

PC games, also known as computer games or personal computer games, are video games played on a personal computer rather than a dedicated video game console or arcade machine.

Their defining characteristics include a lack of any centralized controlling authority, a greater degree of user control over the video-gaming hardware and software used and a generally greater capacity in input, processing, and output.

A patch is a piece of software designed to update a computer program or its supporting data, to fix or improve it.

This includes fixing security vulnerabilities and other bugs, with such patches usually called bugfixes or bug fixes, and improving the usability or performance.

Although meant to fix problems, poorly designed patches can sometimes introduce new problems (see software regressions).

In some special cases updates may knowingly break the functionality, for instance, by removing components for which the update provider is no longer licensed or disabling a device.
