Was there any study on video games and subjective well-being (i.e. does video games bring more happiness)? I'd be interested in that.

- sandworm101 10y agoI read something by nasa many years ago. They were looking at games to keep people sane in confined spaces. There was also mention of people stuck in hospital beds using games. Google around and you should find papers on vr games reducing requests for painkillers in children's hospitals.
