As a student for computer games art, it is not about playing games on campus as I can do that at home, its about analysing and understanding gameplay, world building and visualising the output of real time game art that I will need to achieve myself for my course.
Expanded access to installing games from Steam and the anti cheat counterparts, as well as games from GOG (Good Old Games) would be highly beneficial. This is especially important for students who wish to learn virtual reality games development.

Absolutely necessary, network restrictions on uni computers can severely hinder student progress.

Why do you need to play games at university? Why should the servers be filled with games? The university exists for education, we already have access to compilers, engines, art programs etc., everything you need to create games and if Overwatch or whatever was required for the unit it would already be installed and functioning. Your time in classes should be spent doing your work, not playing Runescape.

This would be beneficial for both developing games within the course and for the society

These other applications would give other students a wider variety to choose from

Indeed, I think we should get more access to games.

Some things such as overwatch and runescape don't work even on my own laptop whilst connected to uni wifi probably due to network restrictions.

We need to expand a range for people who can't afford or have the opportunity to play these games. There are medical benefits to gaming. Google it

This would be so useful for the gaming courses to be able to access these games, and for the esports to be able to succeed it is kind of essential to be able to access these games. It shouldn't be that hard to remedy the issue. And if Lecturers have a problem with people playing games in their lectures it should be down to them to enforce it.
