week 9 video game addiction

video game addiction
what is video game addiction? well it is explained as an impulse control disorder. and in some cases have been similar linked to pathological gambling. this form of addiction is also been referred as video game overuse or compulsive.
there are many people who are suffering from video game addiction. and possibly will use the internet to gain access to massively multi-player online role-playing games (MMORPGs) and multi-user domain games (MUDs). the main focus of these games are to accomplish goals and complete missions. reaching high scores in a fantasy world such as world of war craft or a first person shouter such as call of duty.
now many people have that negative effect towards gaming if you play it for too long. they think that the player does not get none or very little solacing with other people. but with games being so advance in technology many individuals who suffer from video game addiction use the large virtual world to connect with other people around the world. those people with video game addiction may enjoy aspects of the on line games that allows the player to meet and socialize and even exchange ideas through the games. these gamer play for such a great deal of time to accomplish tasks and missions the players feel obligation and loyalty to other players on the game.  This might further the individual’s good reason of his/her use and logic of association with other players, that are otherwise strangers.
because of the this statistics show that both men and boys are more prone to turn out to be a addicted to video games than women and girls. now new research has establish that almost one in 10 youth gamer (ages 8-18) can be classified as pathological gamer or addicted to video-gaming.
is video game addiction acts as a big part of the video gaming industry today. now i like to play games as much as the next guy but I do believe you have to have a balance between games and real life. video game addiction is a pressing matter but i do believe that it is a faze that will go away because after a while the player will get board and soon drop the game for something else and more exciting and better off. it even might be another game but I used to be addicted to gamming but i soon found the games that I was playing was getting boring to me and i started to stop playing games all the time and only play them causally here and there. and the statistics show that gamer are aged between 8 to 18 so children and young adults and that was about the time i started to find the video games less inserting and that is when I picked up other hobbies such as vintage cars and motorcycles. I believe that video game addiction in the next few years will soon decline because players will start to experience new technology and new ways to play games instead of the classic way of  playing games.
