StaceyPowers Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 How common are problem gaming behaviors? This study suggests they affect as much as 10% of gamers, which seems surprisingly high to me: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200513143803.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 There is no denying the fact that video games can be very addictive for most people especially teens. Some of my friends got hit so bad they needed therapy to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I will have to question research coming out of a highly religious institution like Brigham Young University. There is no doubt some people get addicted to gaming, but what are the real underlining issues? That's what research should be about. Otherwise, I assume there are a variety of discrepancies and bias that countries like China will use to ban gaming. And when church and state becomes one in the USA, we should be seeing Chinese laws coming in place. So expect gaming to get banned, that's after the NFT's make a fortune before it all gets burned to the ground. We will go back to playing Jacks in between praying sessions.

Heatman Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 When people can't control most of their urges, it's what leads to addiction and it's something that's very common in gaming now. A lot of people are very addicted to gaming without even knowing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if people are banned from gaming just like it's done to some kids in China, I don't really think that it's going to stop people from playing games completely.

Seriously, it's definitely not going to stop people from playing games, they will definitely find a way to play even when they know the consequences of doing that.

It affected me too, when I was growing up, when me and my friends in high school will sneek out in order to battle ourselves out via efootball game. It made my study to take a toll during those times, I needed an intervention from my parents to sit up in my academics.

Once you allow your gaming habits to interfere with your education activities, it's definitely going to wreck it no matter what you do in the end.

That's it, that's childish mentality for me then. I am happy now that video games never ruined my educational activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy in my neighborhood dropped out of school as a result of gaming addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are basically game's collectors. Those items collected are far more important to them than any other thing in the entire gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
