To be fair, not everyone "survived" videogames. I know plenty of people who got "trapped" by them as young adults and some lost years to it or never really moved on. By which I mean, had them as an addiction/escape from developing social skills or confronting other responsibilities.
- dagenix 7y agoSo, these people you know who got "trapped" - if it wasn't for videogames, they would have had no issues?
- claudiawerner 7y agoThat's really beside the point. GP isn't arguing that video games are the sole source of their problems, only that video games could make it worse. And even then, I can easily imagine situations in which without video games they would have been fine. Since video gaming can be an addiction, perhaps you could compare it to other addictions like alcohol. While you could say that an alcoholic already had an addictive personality so you can't blame the alcohol, it seems really odd to excuse the role of the addictive substance in the first place. Nobody is arguing that alcohol or video games be banned.
