Playing MMORPGS makes me feel bad. Better to spend time with more useful things like family, work, study or being healthy.

they dont make me feel bad

mental health is important and video games are a good release.

It's all about that good ol' dopamine, the "oh yeah, give me more" magic ingredient :P

Thing is our brain builds up tolerance to this substance, so we will need higher doses to achieve the same effect and thus we -more or less- get hooked to a gaming experience.

Pretty much the same as drug abuse.

Like many pointed out, it's best to take breaks and maybe do something else.

Games have been really shitty in the past like 10 years. The only 3 games i would consider good are.

Red dead 2.
Days Gone.
God of war 4 (Havent played ragnarok yet.)

Everything else is boring and just a copy and paste of whats already been done.

then why still play rs? if you dont consider it good. you spend an awful amount of time on a bad game in your opinion

Im on the forums alot more than i play the game. lol i just renewed for dt 2 and necromancy

When does something become an addiction? Games are fun, especially for kids, they let you be what you cannot IRL, a hero, a soilder, a racecar driver, ect. The list goes on and on. If you play in your freetime and use up all your freetime i dont consider that an addiction. Besides games get boring after long enough, all of them do.

Now if your not doing anything but play games and sleep or you drop out of school to play a game (which is apparently what zezima did.) then id say thats a problem, you cant just play games and expect everything in life to be handed to you, but i figure people will grow the brain cells to realize that after they run out of money for the next new 70$ game or skin pack.
