ONLINE GAMES to become a winner

Online addiction

Video games take a lot of flak these days. At the mention of any incident involving teenagers or kids, video games seem to be one of the first riding the guillotine. Although many of the accusations are silly and outlandish, there is some warning to be considered. Online games can be addictive, to a crippling and dangerous point. Video games or online games such as Battlestar Galactica are fun and joy, but are as addictive as anything else. Like any addiction, online addiction can be destructive. This isn’t the online games fault, but rather the folly of the player.
One of the first big titles to get hammered for its addictiveness was Everquest, earning it the title Evercrack. These days World of Warcraft is the scapegoat of many incidents. Blizzard, the studio behind World of Warcraft, was brought to the point of adding in-game messages in hopes of reminding addicted players to take a break. Some people just don’t know how. If the player is shirking off friends or dodging responsibility, it is very possible that the player is addicted. If the player refuses to accept this, the player may just find out how important he or she was in the real world, in a cruel way. Social ties will detiorate, family members may drift away, jobs could be in danger, babies could be marred by negligence.
If the player has an addictive personality, he or she should make sure there is time to play that doesn’t interfere with real-world responsibilities. This kind of planning can save a lot of unnecessary pain.
