The gaming world in my honest opinion is very dangerous. If I didn't start reading self-help books (such as MJ's ones) I would still be playing CS:GO probably.
I spent 16 years of my life playing videogames and okay, kids have to have fun, but what most people don't get is that the creators of videogames have the only interest of engineering addiction triggers so every player becomes addicted to the game and starts spending money to achieve MORE and feel a sense of clout.
There was a time I was skipping school to play MW2 to rank up and gain virtual achievements. Back then in 2011 games weren't as dangerous as they are today. Triggers weren't a thing and the gamification model wasn't as strong as in today's videogames.
Nowadays the greater the triggers and the gamification model, the more success such companies get. At the cost of kids' brain and the dopaminergic system.
Just my 2 cents.
