Here are some other assets that you also can locate below our Eyewitness News I-Team tab. Addiction is a problem no matter what people get addicted to. From drugs and drinks to games, addiction is a huge problem. Talking about addicting games, some people spent a large portion of their daily lives in computer games. Such people play games for hours and hours to an entire day, forgetting about any other activity of their daily lives. Due to addiction to games, people miss out on their normal things like school.

Homework/assignments, studies, real-life playtime, and even loss of their social lives. They might not even have a real-life and become lifeless, living only in the world of games. All these are some of the negative impacts which are caused by addiction to games. Addiction to games is caused when gamers spend too much of their time in games. Addiction to games is facilitated by the release of newer advanced games all the time.

Even though games take many skilled workforces, high costs, and years to develop, a new one is released now and then. So, when a gamer gets tired of a game, they can go out there and get another collection of games to get addicted to. Years pass this way for gamers, and they do not even know it. They hardly realize it, and when they do, they will have already missed out a lot in their lives.

MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), multiplayer games, online gaming, gaming communities/clubs all hold a lot of addicted gamers. MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Runescape have millions of online players from all over the world, out of which it is said that a large portion of them spend around ten hours a day playing these MMORPGs. So when ten hours a day is spent playing games, very little time is left for other important activities. Such players have their lives online and offline. They are out of this world.

The games having millions of players get such a huge amount of customers with their high budget marketing efforts and with the help of already addicted and awaiting game fan base. So, a lot of time and money is spent on games every year. Moreover, there are free versions of free games available for kids who cannot pay, and once they grow up and can play, they upgrade to paid versions of the games. This makes it seem like there will be generations of addicted gamers if the trend continues.

But who is to blame for all of this? Is it the gamers or the game developers? They both share the blame, but the actual gamers are more to blame. It is because they are the ones who empty their pockets for the games, and they are the ones who play it all the time. They should have control of their lives and only play games for what they are meant for, which is for entertainment purposes.

The ones who are already addicted to games should fix themselves and be involved in more real-life activities to get their minds off of games. They should not let the games control them and instead have a healthy time playing such games. They should know a limit. This way, time can be well utilized, and games can be played only for entertainment purposes.
