Games

Today in class we talked about how games can affect some people emotionally. I think that this is very true and some people take gaming to much like playing it nonstop. Gamers can get so addicted they almost lose control of themselves playing the game. Some people tell them selves not to play but in the end they end up playing anyways. I think originally games were made to take the stress off of people but now people can make money from it. For an example World of Warcraft players can sell their accounts for high prices.
Video game designers are only creating games to gather attention and players. But now I think that they have gone to a whole new level where people are getting emotions from the actual game itself. Thus the video game addicts are born. They are the people that should really take a break from games and unplug. I'm not saying that gamers are bad I just believe that they are people that are unfortunate that that they are addicted to games. I mean no one wants to be addicted to anything. Unless there is really something strange about you.
I use to be a hard core gamer myself until I finally quit. When you are addicted to games it is very hard quitting. I took me at least 6 months for me to let go of a game called Maplestory. Of course I still play games once in a while I still have troubles after I get into it. I think that if you don't really put 100% of your attention to the game it will not take control of you. This is very much like gambling. Once in a while you can play it for fun but once you have an addiction you can hold back and your just keep doing it.
