There are thing in which I agree with you and others I do not have the same opinions.
and in the eyes of the public, video games are no-where comparable to these drugs.
Actually a lot of communities think off video games as drugs and actively fight against them.
In the end its not videogames that are the evil, its yourself. There are a lot of gamers that live fulfilling lives as well
You are right about that, I should have maybe been more specific with that statement.
I think putting the blame on the person affected by video game addiction is not exactly fair though. For a lot of gamer's, we were introduced to video games at a very young age, where it became part of our life.
If a child who is surrounded by drugs his whole life ends up becoming a drug addict, I wouldn't call them evil. Mislead maybe.
I also think there are more people who are current gaming addicts who are not living fulfilling lives, than those who are. I am not talking about your average gamer, I'm talking about addicts. But, there are always exceptions and I don't have any statistical data to argue this so I'm not saying you are wrong.
Thank you for your feedback!
As an ex addict I can say that it was a way from running from reality. Once the affected person identifies what causes him to play in the first place it becomes clear on the actions to take
100% true, I only wish the answer was in black and white.
Maybe I do know what caused me to get to this point and I'm just afraid to admit it,
but to this day I still can't seem to stop playing and I don't know why.
