I play videogames, and I would always love them no matter what.
They are a special part of my life, but I also have other parts of my life that are also meaningful too.
Just because someone says that playing videogames for long hours makes it an addiction has never really talked to anyone who loves playing Videogames.
So I may or may not know what is defined as a Videogame Addiction, but please talk to the gamers first before jumping to conclusions.
Also when it comes to addictions, it is not the Videogame's fault, it is more of the person and you need to handle with care because with Videogames, a person is fufilling a certain part of their life with it and by trying to blame videogames for their addiction can lead them into a defencive stance,
So please, anyone who is reading these comments, just don't worry what what some people say and just enjoy playing Videogames, because they don't understand them
and the less we worry about them, the less we will feel depressed, because depression is where the REAL addiction comes from I feel.
