RE: Video Game Addiction - Disease or Disorder?
Well written and thoughtful piece on Gaming addiction. It's absolutely a growing problem. As games get better more and more people will become disconnected with reality. It truly is a waste of life, some gamers look a lot like crackheads just sitting there lost in their own little world.
I like games, have played a lot of strategy games and even enjoy gambling but never to the point where it significantly impacts my life. The money aspect isn't a problem as long as you aren't spending more than your budget. Some games can be social and educational too. There is a lot of positives. I can't wait for better augmented reality games, especially ones with a fitness aspect to them.

If I assualt your virtual character is it assault? I recently read a case where someome uploaded a mod to rape people's avatars in game and proceeded to rape some children's avatars. Obviously his account was banned, but given the attachment to one's online character is it beyond 'altering the code'?
Watching people play VR games is quite interesting. I actually spent some time at gstar doing just that. They look like absolute fools when I can't see what they think theybare doing. As laughable as a hampster in its wheel or a dog chasing its tail.
There are so many ethical questions and Now with in game currency being worth moneyband cryptocurrencies, these accounts have serious financial value, too.
