There's a subset of employees who really like games. Many places I've worked, those employees stay long after hours pulling out board games, video games, etc.

But there's another (probably larger?) subset of employees who like casual conversation, coffee, drinking, little 5 minute chats in the kitchen, and who have little to no interest in games. I don't think the proposal is going to do much for this subset.

The game isn't the point, and to that end, picking the right game is critical. I mean, if you don't like games, but are interested in chit chat, you can make small talk over a game of war or go fish. That might not be possible over a game of league of legends.

The point is to provide a light filler activity than can be set aside when necessary, plus a rich communication medium that uses virtual objects and space.
