Lets talk about addiction!

I don't really know what to write here, but I am hoping that people will post their experiences with addiction and games, cncnet hosted games in particular; because thats just where we are.

You will not find the worst kind of addiction here.

Some kids might throw away their time by playing these games. But there are games out there that forces players to keep playing.

Pay to win games. Look it up.

if people are unable to separate themselves from a game to do what they need to do, then they obviously have other issues they need to take into account as well and have self control.

it's not the games fault, it's the users fault.

Great! This is a start.

X3m, the pay to win games sure are more effective at being addictive then the older games; totally agree there: I hope we can develop as a community if we talk about these things.

Marsh, I can agree with that somewhat! Addiction is usually a complicated set of circumstances. Ignorance does exist!

I'll say that I'm currently addicted to caffeine and finding ways to avoid the never ending pile of research work that I have. Does that count? :D.
