I don't really have an addictive personality so I'll stop when I realize I am losing a bit more than expected but I know friends who have had that issue.

DarthHazard Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 It depends on the individual I guess. There are several cases where people are genuinely addicted to gaming but it's not the case for a lot of people. Like you, I wouldn't say that I am a gaming addict either. I probably put aside 1-1.5 hours per day for gaming, and even then, it's only if I have time and don't have to do anything else. If I have other work or am tired, I won't game.

My mind constantly reminds me of stuff I need to get done urgently so I can't afford to go over the time limit or else I'll become distracted during my gaming session.

Newt70 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Not really, I don't play games as often as I probably should. Really, anyone can become addicted to anything, it is not just gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm absolutely addicted to watching football and drinking beer, even though I workout a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything that is given to you in moderation isn't harmful although excessive amounts can be which can lead to becoming an addiction. Having self control is key, it's easier said than done though.

Shine_Spirit Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I think the line between "fun" and "addiction" can be quite complicated considering the reality and interests of each player. What may work for me, may not work for you. However, I think some aspects should be considered as worrying, being the main one of them, the lack of interaction with the real world.

Exactly. Moderate gaming is the most important thing to all gamers. If you operate within the safe zone, then you need not worry about getting into mess of getting addicted to the game which is very wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but most people think it is easier to blame the thing one is addicted toward than the person themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the truth is that not everyone is bold enough to accept the responsibility for their actions. So, they are very good in pointing blame to other people or variables.
