They said the exact same thing about TV, and the exact same thing when "Nintendo" first came out... the only problem is that now it's EVERYWHERE, you can talk to people on it which makes you feel like you're being social.... Also, don't tell me these people weren't EXACTLY like drug addicts lol.... The kid had dreams about playing video games... You know what they call those in NA? "Drug dreams"... Some addicts have dreams where they're trying to score drugs, actually getting drugs, whatever, for YEARS after they stop using. He was having the exact same mental responses as a drug addict or alcoholic. Same with the other guy. And I'm sorry, I just don't believe that anyone ever had THAT bad of a response with TV.

    This is why you set boundaries when they are small. Their tantrums hurt less. I think people are really lost. It is taboo to even parent anymore, everything we say or do is wrong. Some people just choose to sit on their hands in confusion, but we have to fight for our kids and set them up for a positive future! Don't let people tell you how to parent your kids, do the right thing!

    As a Gamer, we play so long because it distracts us from what’s going on in the outside world. There could be something upsetting us and we’d just wanna play our games so we can forget about it. Gaming is not the problem

    • @quchi7232

      True but it's also possible being addicted.
      I used to be a gamer too playing 17 hours per day during my day off and 6 hours on working days until I quit my job just so I can game all day, wasn't worth it.
      It's hard to accept the fact that gaming addiction can cause a lot of problems too physically and mentally.
      Curing gaming addiction takes a lot of time really, and it's not easy.

    That’s ridiculous referring to video games as heroin video games are a escape for a lot of people I definitely do not agree him play 12-14 hours a day but still he should be aloud to play you don’t need to send him to a “video game rehab” honestly I hate the news all they do is say video games are bad bad bad and nothing else but bad when they aren’t all bad

You sure don't see 'over reading' or 'child plays too much sport' on the news. It's not the thing you're doing, it's how much you personally choose to attach yourself to it. If you want to shut out the rest of your life for your hobby, do it. Not the rest of the world's problem really :/

    • @jadejewell7716
      @jadejewell7716 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Do you know what logic is? Logic is a tool used to determine whether or not an argument can demonstrate the claim it attempts to make.
      It's really simple. An illogical argument can not demonstrate its claim. A logical argument always demonstrates it's claim.
      Your argument is fallacious. In order words, it relies on logical fallacies, thus being illogical.
      For example, your claim that you can be addicted to anything is incorrect. Your claim that too much reading or playing too many sports has never been a concern is also incorrect.
      Lastly, it sometimes IS what you are doing. And "choosing" to attach or not attach yourself to an addiction is nonsensical. That's the meaning and definition of an addiction. If you had the ability to simply "choose" to avoid addiction, addiction wouldn't be a problem.
      There are a few more problems with you argument. Like saying it's no one else's problem. Sorry, but we don't live in a vacuum. This is the real world. Which means the things you do (or don't do) will affect other people.

      92G Gaming I think u forgot about the time taken to get a big following before u get paired with ytube and actually get paid, the editing time and the render time...

      92G Gaming you don't become big on TH-cam over night. And the pay is trash for a long time. 1$ every 1k view or so

      It does the same damage to your brain that drugs do. When looking at a brain scan of someone on heroine and someone with gaming addiction it looks almost identical. They explained some of it on this video. +Shadey
