It turned social networking into a game-like experience where engagement was rewarded. 3. Real-Time Content Creation and Sharing

By 2015, the concept of the digital playground was firmly established. Minecraft had already become a cultural phenomenon, selling millions of copies and demonstrating the vast appeal of a virtual sandbox.
