Now, here, for once, we have a more balanced and reasonable argument over online gaming...
I'm sure most of us have experienced that feeling at some point, but just how badly can it affect people?For some, the enjoyment turns to suffering when they become "addicted" to the games.
They no longer have the "choice" to play, but are driven to play.
There's plenty more, and it's happily bereft of the usual media hype and sensationalism, over at the BBC.They stop eating properly and do not get enough sleep. They barely leave this new fantasy life, to do anything else.
My thoughts?
Well, yes, people can easily spend too much time playing ANY game, not just online, but a little self-control goes a long way. Online gaming has big up-sides too, which have been omitted. Benefits such as making new friends and being involved with a community that shares a common interest. How many of us on HEXUS alone have made and met new friends through here?
