Scorpion Posted March 25, 2025 Posted March 25, 2025 Have gamers become junkies? With the rise of immersive video games and online communities, are players starting to lose touch with reality? Are they spending too much time gaming at the expense of their health, relationships, and responsibilities? What impact does this have on society and the future of gaming?
Bizdustry Posted March 25, 2025 Posted March 25, 2025 At what stage does a video gamer become a junky, or a gaming addict? I would agree, when commitments like work, studying, or socialising is squashed to where you’re isolating yourself. Fortunately I can say I’ve never been in this situation or close, as I always try and make time for other commitments first before hobbies which therefore controls the amount of time spent gaming
killamch89 Posted April 3, 2025 Posted April 3, 2025 It's a complex issue, and labeling all gamers as 'junkies' is a harmful oversimplification. While excessive gaming can certainly lead to negative consequences for some individuals, the vast majority of people who enjoy video games do so in a balanced and healthy way, using it as a form of entertainment, stress relief, or social connection.
