The Danger of Online Gaming Addiction

Like any substance abuse that has the ability to weaken family relationships, cause other serious psychological disorders, and abandon more significant priorities in life, online gaming can affect an individual just as much – excluding the physical harm caused by substances.

Furthermore, there have been more than 20 suicides that can be rooted from online gaming addictions. The moment this obsession leads to psychological disorders, or when psychological problems exacerbates, addicted players may become clinically downhearted and depressed which can cause them to have suicidal tendencies.

Online gaming can only be acceptable as a hobby if done in moderation. Nevertheless, I really don’t understand why these people want to delineate themselves from the real world by adhering to the virtual one. Isn’t it more exciting to live in an imperfect world than in a world where you become your own captive?
