But I still keep my opinion: the games aren't the guilty ones (not only buy themselves) here. It's a really complicated discussion, I know that. However, I don't think games have all THAT dangerous / lethal power (although some of them aren't really so good for some specific public). Alright. I respect your opinion then. So there is no need dragging it much more. It's left for all of us to have in mind whatever we do tend to have its effects either positive or negative on us.

Anachiwo Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Actually, it's in the hands of the gamer to control how he or she plays. When you fail to do so, it's not really the game that should be blamed but the individual in question. We are responsible for our actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 The thing is gaming being thing like addiction. It is often not in our hands to control that behavior. It's same as the alcohol and the other addictions. Once it goes out of head, it just becomes habit. And all that we can do about it is work on the habits that keeps us away from the gaming. I know controlled gaming is lot better than anything from what I have seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anachiwo Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Take for instance, gaming helps people who are in some kind of bored situation. So, it does affect one's situation at any point in time. But what matters is how it's used to impact on one's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 It's how you play games and get yourself consumed by it that determines how it affects you in positive or negative manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the thing is that gamers may not be bad. But games can be bad and have some sort of the psychological consequences. Many people tend to ignore that basic point. Because they think that it is upto us to adjust but addiction does not work like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good number of people today are chronic introverts simply because of getting too drifted into fantasy game world and spilling far away from reality. This is a very big problem that is associated with game addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, what you give prominence takes its hold on you. If you give into playing games too much, it's definitely going to affect you in a way that wouldn't be so good.

Heatman Posted March 1, 2019 Author Share Posted March 1, 2019 Everything we do affects us in one way or another. So, does gaming especially when it's played in excess. I have seen some people who games have affected in such a way that they became aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 I think people who are addicted to gaming tend to have effects on the family. And their careers and the overall family experience gets affected from what I have seen so far. It can get pretty difficult as well. In that context you may notice that there is always going to be difference in opinion. So I think gaming has impact on many people so we have to be pretty careful about things.

Haha, it's just cooked up Fantasy stories used to add happiness in the lives of kids. How about the tooth fairy?

As a matter of fact, those are the people I troll the most just to give them a taste of their own medicine. Even worse, when they get banned or suspended, I keep trolling them until they rage quit.
