Can People Have An Addiction To Video Games?
ok….. i have played the world of warcraft since it as came out… i did play it way more then i should have but not at a really high rate…
i do think then can be an addiction to video games… my mom and dad thought i was just being dumb…. what do you guys think?
Yes, video game addiction is actually becoming quite a serious problem and more researchers are conducting studies to investigate the possibility.
Just recently, a professor at UC Irvine received a grant for $100,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to track addiction behaviors in World of Warcraft players.
I personally think video game addiction is very real, on a similar order to compulsive gambling. But since the direct adverse effects of playing games in excess aren’t so obvious, people tend to think that the problem isn’t as serious.
i’ve ben playing videogames sience i was about 3 or 4 and i am NOT addicted. i do play it every day but it is only because i cant think of anything else to do. if i wanted to i can stop for 2 weeks ( i broke a vase once and had a punishment of a 2 1/2 week videogame, T.V, and computer ban). so because you realized that you were playng to much, you can stop. if you are addicted and someone told you that you are, and you say no, then your parents, friend, and/or relatives say you’re addicted, and you still say no, then you are obviously addicted.
I believe you can get addicted to games but not “medically”definition: you not really addicted your just in a habit to play the game, and you like to
No. A video game obsession, sure. But not an addiction. Additions are a completely different kind of animal.
yes you can but if you do have one you need to stop because it can ruin you brian and eyes
video games are really quite additing when you think about it.
Definitely. There was a guy on WoW that had 32 accs and played 16 characters at once. OBSESSION!!!
yea. i kno i do! lol
