Much of the debate over the past 30 years has focused on the dangers of computer gaming in the adolescent population, including increased aggression and addiction. During the Covid-19 pandemic, an increasing number of individuals began to relieve stress through online games and disconnect from reality. Numerous authors define the video game industry and gamers as a subculture. They point out that the video game industry is a subcultural industry that produces subcultural content for a subcultural audience with the logic of a subcultural industry. Accordingly, video games represent an immediate way to counteract the negative experiences of frustration, boredom, and anxiety. Individuals seemingly "defeated" by their work lives banished feelings that the day had not gone well with a period of intense individual play. The subject of this research was the gaming community in Split. The aim of the research was to determine the characteristics of the daily life of gamers and to understand the subculture of gamers. A semi-structured interview was used as a method. The interviews were conducted in the area of the city of Split. The results show the high level of integration of gamers into society and the experience of gaming as a hobby. The respondents successfully perform all duties and harmonize them with gaming. Almost everyone thinks of continuing to play later in life. The Covid-19 epidemic has proven to be a reason for increasing the amount of gaming. Gamers understand playing video games as a social activity where they connect with other people.
