In 2022, The New York Times acquired Wordle, a viral hit puzzle game, to bolster user engagement. However, not all attempts have been successful, as evidenced by Facebook&#8217;s shutdown of its standalone gaming app due to declining usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, Google is re-entering the gaming arena with YouTube Playables, offering casual games on its video-streaming platform. These initiatives underscore the growing recognition among non-game platforms of gaming&#8217;s potential to enhance user experiences and drive interaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aliteq.com\/games-on-linkedin-this-will-be-a-new-promise-for-games-being-born\/\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LinkedIn, a Microsoft-owned platform, is venturing into gaming to enhance user engagement.
