Functioning in various life domains is impaired.(That's what VGA can do)

There's no doubt that the part of our brain that deals with pleasure can be subjected to environmental conditioning by experience. It's just a simple principle. When you do something for the first time and you enjoyed it, there's a likelihood of doing it again, and the more you keep enjoying it, the more you would love to do it again and again
Billions of people around the world love playing games, but not all of them are addicted. There is a difference between a healthy fun gaming hobby and a gaming addiction. Some people miss interpret both. Gaming addiction is classified as a disorder by the world health organization because of the negative effect it has on the life of the victims
Most video games are designed like a world on their own and as a player, you are representing a figure and playing a vital role in the game world, so you begin to see yourself living in the world. That is the psychological art the game developers use to create video games, and the anxiety from playing the game can gradually restructure the brain thereby making one sit on a spot and play games for hours day in day out forgetting about other daily and social activities
I believe that the monetization of gaming would have an effect on gaming to some degree but some people would still never play games no matter how much you put on it. At least, there are some gaming platforms on hive and I believe the number of people playing it is minimal compared to the numbers of hive users
Addicted gamers can spend their last card to upgrade their game. They go as far as borrowing money to buy the latest video games because that's where they find their pleasure. To say the fact, most addicted gamers are not after the money. Of couse they would love to make some money playing games but even without money involved, you will still find them at the front of the screen as usual
So if they are beign paid as a gamer, the adiction will still remain a bad thing because gaming addiction is termed a mental disorder. An addicted gamer lives in another world entirely. They've created their world inside the TV screen. They are always thinking and talking about games. They find it difficult to keep relationship because they have no time to socialize. They find pleasure in sitting at the front of the screen a whole day without getting tired. That is where they derive their joy
However, some people who are game lovers can find their way to the addiction level if they found a platform that pay gamers. The fact that they are game lovers can make the monetary part trigger the excitement when they start winning and making money, and since winning is reinforcing, some people want to keep winning and they end up doing it all the time thereby leading to addiction
The only scenario where paying addicted players is a good thing is when he/she overcomes the addiction and make gaming a hobby that does not affect personal life. If instant gratification of gaming is out of the way, it becomes a good thing. There is no good thing about the money you make from hurting yourself and your loved ones
I think every gamer that is a healthy player should notice themselves to know when they are gradually moving to the level of addiction. The moment the only thing that gives pleasure is playing game, there should be a pull back to attend to other activities. Other hobbies should not be left aside. Also, making time for people is very important. Many people has lost their friends and girlfriends/boyfriends to "Elden Ring, Horizon Forbidden, Pokemon Legends, God of War Ragnarock, The callisto protocol, Gothan Knights, Forspoken" and many other video games
Finally, no one need a soothsayer to tell him/her that the desire for the reward in anything we do takes over the desire for many things. However, it should be balanced. Many people make money as gamers, yet not addicted. Once we begin to notice that a gamer care less about the consequences of his actions and gaming has taken precedence over life activities, then such gamer is addicted
This is ckole the laughing gas.
One love

It is pretty creepy the way everyone is ignoring what is happening to me and still going to Hivefest. Lay the dirty snatches out why dont ya. Fake it all you want creeps, its so obvious the blind eye you are turning. @fyrstikken told me what V2K and RNM was before they turned it on for me. Around that time he introduced me to @roelandp . I still have the emails between myself and @roelandp . This chain is centralized by design and @fyrstikken helped set it all up to fuck everyone, one by one, slowly into my situation. This is no joke you dumb mother fuckers, they shock you to your thoughts..... Hello????? It is in store for everyone you fools and your helping. Voices pulsed in your head and shocks to your thoughts??? Ignore me and help fuck innocent people for life? @roelandp and other top witnesses I know are involved with @fyrstikken.. Wait until people find out you conspired to enslave them with this shit. I am not crazy and you know it. they are doing this shit to me and told me what it mother fucking was BEFORE THEY TURNED IT ON! Your acting like naive children or maybe you are just part of the problem? You look like sociopaths. Everyone should unplug from HIVE until they are caught, .your. celebrating and ignoring my obvious, you look like fools. You know who is doing it....they are trying to kill me with it. The Havana Syndrome is real too you slave trading V2K, RNM enabling fuckers. Arrogantly play ignorant you Creeps, your setting the table for trafficking and total enslavement. I did not know I was circumvented until a year after I was..People here will be nice until it?s too late. There is no way to stop it once they have you. Grow the fuck up, this is not aliens, gods, celebrities or a medicate-able mental concern. It is 100% electronic and beast as fuck. You do not want this shit. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem
I totally agree with you. self-control so that it doesn't get to the level of addiction is more important so that the emotional level can be maintained
Yes bother. Self-control is one of the best ways to avoid addiction. Prevention is better than cure. Thanks brotherly.
