Games will go on during Lent

WHILE majority of Filipinos are going home to their respective provinces this Holy Week, online gamers here are still expected to log on and continue playing. In fact, most online game publishers in the country will continue operating during the entire week, including Good Friday and Black Saturday, days when most business operations are closed. Level Up! Philippines and E-Games said they would still run their operations during the Holy week, an annual religious event. Both companies said they have never slowed down their operations since they started. E-Games Vice President for Game Operations Gary Escobar said they only see lesser gamers logging in during Good Friday. It then picks up on Black Saturday and Easter Sunday. Level Up! Marketing Director Jake San Diego said many players continue to log on even on Good Friday to escape boredom. Other game publishing companies such as iAM Interactive, Amped Games, and Mobius Games have not yet announced any operational changes for the next few days.
