Eh, while I think it is sort of interesting that a WHO draft recognized gaming addiction I doubt anything major is going to come out of it.
|
Here's to hoping people, and more importantly the people around those people, can get some help.
|
I never really had a gaming addiction, I played video games since the 80s, but it was never enough that I was addicted to them, I only play the games I'm interested in, plus there are times where your burned out by video games, you rather watch other people play them, like on Twitch.
Playing video games can sometimes be stressful, like if your stuck on a level you can't beat, you resort to using cheat codes to beat it. |
I think this is a response to the people who sit on games like League of Legends and World of Warcraft virtually all day long.

And they wanted to make gaming as an e-sport. What a joke.
|
Its about time!
|
I mean, anything can be taken too far, so this isn't really news but it is good that more forms of addiction are being recognized
|
Gaming was my life as a kid. Once I had to work for a living, I feel as if I have to force myself to game.
|
I must have played about 30 hours of video games in the past 10-14 days. Do I qualify as an addict?

Anyway, I think I was more addicted when I was a kid/teenager. granted nowadays I don't have much time to play games all day anymore, but even if I have nothing else do one on a day, I cant' bring myself to spend 8-9 hours of it playing video games like I did when I was 13 or so.
