Description:

News was once broadcast in the United States about a young man who played video games for 48 consecutive hours and was ultimately rushed to the emergency room. In this program, worried parents discover that video games quickly cause their children to lose track of day and night, neglect meals and sleep, fall into a chaotic lifestyle, and turn into completely different people—forcing them to cut off the internet, which triggers violent backlashes from the children. Where does the charm of video games truly lie? For gaming companies, designing a virtual world that makes people want to play again and again is the golden rule for making money; ever since the implementation of video game rating systems, they believe that controlling one's behavior is the consumer's responsibility. However, addiction is not something young people can control on their own. Especially when shy individuals can become bold and mild-mannered people can kill at will without facing real-world consequences, it is easy for players to mistake themselves for heroes. This keeps players hooked, even when the reality of gaming addiction has already stripped away their life skills, academics, achievements, critical thinking, and self-awareness, turning them into full-blown addicts.
