An article on gambling addiction in modern society?

Question

Game development

We are planning to write an article on this topic. Why does a person go into unreality and experience a strong dependence. If you want to consider some specific cases or ask something, suggest something, then you can do it now.

Answer 1

There is nothing to ask or suggest, but I will read it with pleasure.

Answer 2

As I understand it, judging by the tags, we are talking about games? That is, are you going to write something like "Virtual Skinner Box"?

Answer 3

Immediately write in the article how to use gambling addiction to earn money at minimal cost. Those. emphasis on what exactly people need to “give to eat” and what they are willing to pay for in the first place and how much.
I read it with pleasure.

Why doesn't it work for some? In the same WoW, I started playing a couple of times and eventually got bored no longer than a month later. While friends were gone in the game for years! The maximum that really clung to me was Fallout :) And now I can play CoD:BOII for a maximum of several hours a week, and then as a relief from work and other problems. I have one friend who doesn't start playing any new game on purpose because he is really afraid to get hooked on this business for a long time.

Answer 5

As an idea for an article:
If the game is online, then there is an option that a person needs not a game, but communication, because. he spends most of his time in game chat.
I was so lost in the Edges of Reality: 90% of the time there was a chat and a game forum. He fell off, then sat down again. I understood that it was an addiction, but I did not want to do something.
Of course, I didn’t sit for days, but I had almost a year of pure game time in 5 real years (the game is browser-based, so I didn’t close it often, but still, it ate a lot of time).
I will be glad to participate as a researcher

Answer 6

What is there to discuss? There will always be a percentage of idiots looking for easy ways to assert themselves.
But it will be interesting to read :)

Answer 7

As an avid
UO player in the past, I’ll say that due to my addiction for 4 years of daily play, I got only pluses:
got carried away with computers
- I got a lot of pleasure from the game itself, and also learned to work with people in a team, albeit a remote
one. like life in a fairy tale that you create for yourself, where no one sees your "real" shortcomings and you can become "whatever you want." It is for this reason that younger people are more susceptible to addiction.
One request, if you are going to write your article, then stick to a neutral point of view. So what you call unreal for many is much more real and closer.
