Consumer Affairs on Video Game Violence

Wednesday, March 13th, 2019 (No comments yet)
(Image used under: Creative Commons 2.5 [SRC])

I'm not ready to say that video violence leads to real violence, but I do know that fantasy violence is desensitizing (after 7 years of CSI, I don't even flinch anymore). More importantly about this article is the discussion of gamer addiction which is a very real problem and likely to get much worse.

The title is the Addictiveness of Virtual Violence, but even by admission of thier own article, it's not the violence that's addictive, but the psuedo-social aspects as well as the feeling of building something worthwhile. "If I just work another 8 hours, I'll gain a level (whee!)".

On that note, you might be interested in my article about avoiding gaming addiction while still playing the game. In my case, I play the far less popular City of Heroes (as opposed to the massive audience of WoW), but the principle still applies.
