Technically its a matter of how much it influences other important aspects of your life. Be honest to yourself as there is no other person who can answer this for you: are you prejudicing yourself for gamming? Hopefully one can find a balanced way to deal with games and other life fullfilments.
Good on you - saving 2400 Euro a year, can buy yourself something nice in real life ;DYes ,My story.
I was adicted to a game. The main reason was that we had a really nice community. The mods and admins all where on Skype.
I started as a chatmoderator, then Forum Moderator, then full moderator en at least head mod.
All of this brought me great joy en a feeling of satisfaction. But it was false because in real life My life was going to hell.
When life went for the worst for me I was getting in this sort of quicksand. the more I was fighting in real life, the more I was drowning in the online.
I world. I di spend over €200 per month to play the game.
At a given period they shut down the server my Clan was on.
It was gone, My clan was in the top 3. I had fouht for that postion for 4 years. And now......it was gone.
That was the moment that I did stop. But stopping was not easy. I went back online fooling myself that I had to speak to someone. on the chat. and so on.
I think that it also depand or the kind of envirement that you are in. Are your parent being aholes or do they care about you.
Are you doing well ate scool or not.
So...... Yes EVERYBODY can be adicted, but only if the circumstances alow it...
Sorry for my bad English grammar
Well, I think 'addicted to online games' means your excessive and irrepressible preoccupation with video games, but the truth is, most of us are just 'like' to play online games.
Take myself as an example: On the weekend, I can probably get a good 5-8 hours to dig into my favorite game--wow classic, maybe farm some gold... unless I'm working a Saturday. And I can log 3-4 hours a day to play wow classic on weekdays, so long as I'm working regular shifts. But every now and again, I have to work double shifts 7:30-6 + 10-3. So those days, I can probably play less than an hour, so it leaves me no time to complete the missions, so I have to find a better source, to buy weapons or potions.
Anyway, I made my point, I don't think I'm addicted to online games, and I don't think most players are. We can play games and manage the time.
I'm an online game addict and I can't get out, I play about 5-6 hours a day, I usually play games online izigames you can try it out, maybe you'll love it too :d
