Online Video Game Store Helps Game Addiction
Palm Bay, FL (PRWeb) December 21, 2006 -- In recent months, several attempts to effect the sale of video games has been made by opponents of video and PC games. Efforts to ban the sale of specific games, to the introduction of various bills in Congress that would restrict game content and sales, have been prevalent in the news.
Recently, the Online Video Game Store at www.atcvideogames.com reduced all game prices to sale prices in response to a poll conducted on several internet gaming newsgroups, Although, responses varied in detail, the overwhelming results of the poll was, yes, video game playing is addictive. However, when considering the comments made by respondents, being addicted to playing video games may not be such a bad thing after all.
Every respondent agreed that playing PC games is addictive, to a point. However, any activity that brings enjoyment can also be considered "addictive." Everyone has a tendency to "be addicted" to those activities they find entertaining and fun, but activities with the benefits of playing video and PC games are seldom found.
Many feel game playing to be a great stress reliever and somewhat therapeutic. It provides an escape from reality where frustrations can be taken out on a fictional character. Also, game playing can enhance a person's ability to interact socially through online multiplayer gaming.
The educational benefits alone make game playing addiction worthwhile. Many games improve analytical skills, cognitive skills, mental alertness and even basic reading and writing. A game recently released is thought to exercise the brain and help improve mental functions including memory. So why is playing video and PC games considered a bad thing?
Instead of looking at difficult issues that affect society, some politicians have decided to direct attention toward the easy media-visible target of video gaming. These news media icons extol all the negative aspects of playing video games and none of the positives. The long line of legislation aimed at the video game industry would indicate politicians are looking for an easy way to gain publicity. Isn't it time for law makers to direct efforts toward solving other, more pressing issues, and stop trying to control lives?
