Alden launched #ARGaming on FB last June 14 and already held a few live streams to date

"I'll be streaming all of my games here in my Facebook page. 'Yung Alden Richards na verified page,” he said at the time.

Upon announcing his new venture, the actor shared some key points why he started gaming and how it changed his perspective about things.

"Ever since I was young, I was a gamer. Gamer na kami ng kuya ko so iba eh. Parang it's a different world. Games are games. Kahit ano pa ang composition ng laro,” he added.

Meanwhile, in an episode of Eat Bulaga's “Bawal Judgmental” segment where game streamers and their concerns were put on spotlight, Alden expressed his dismay over the prevalent sexism in the online gaming community.

He said that despite the differences in gender, every gamer should be treated equally.

"May possibility in the months to come that I will be launching my YouTube channel,” he said.
