Despite all the benefits that online gaming CAN bring, and the
fact that it boils down to the individual and not the game, where
do we draw the line between good and bad?
You only get 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How many hours
should you devote to online gaming before it becomes
detrimental?
How many individuals are there that spend 2/3 hours a day on
online games, yet can emerge as the champion in his/her league?
(Studies, work).
All the people I've known to get insanely ridiculous scores for
their tests NEVER play games. While the people I've known to play
games end up with average results, with more scoring worse.
I have played games before, and it led me absolutely nowhere
other than wasting my time and money and effort on it. Even if you
limit the gaming time, how can you be sure that you are focusing on
your work and not the game?
Even if it's effects are dependent on individuals, how many of
us here can confidently concede that a person who plays games
stands on equal footing as his/her peers in areas of
non-gaming?
