Nobody Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) No. if there were no video games, i'd be wasting my time doing another unproductive thing, except it would be way less fun. in fact, i waste way more time on the internet than playing games.

Fleece Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Only if its major interference in your life Theres nothing wrong with playing video games some of the time, but if it gets bad enough to where its all you ever do and its getting in the way of your job/education then we got a problem here buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluedoom Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 (edited) Life is pretty much based on escapism, so no, they're not unhealthy. Well ok doing a physical activity like playing sports is healthier but nothing wrong with this either.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If you can make a cut between job, family and freetime, it's not unhealthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Like any other form of entertainment, it can be. But I think it's a lot more healthy than getting shitfaced on weekends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Glacies Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Video games are a good form of entertainment, much like books or movies. However, like all things, too much of a good thing is a bad thing. So, you have to be cautious to make sure you don't play too much and become addicted and detached from reality.

Loki Laufeyson Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 The only time ive seen video games become an unhealthy thing in someone's life is when MMORPGs ate my friend's soul and he wasnt even picking up his house and his rent was hella late. Some people actually will become addicted to that as if it were a drug, but that has more to do with the individual's psychological state than the game(s) themselves. If you find yourself spending more on games than on the means to live, yeah umm thats unhealthy. But if you just play games whenever and its not interfering with anything really important, its not a problem. Games themselves are not inherently a problem.
