The world would have been better without video games

[neuronfly]

Before video games came to this world people were happy living their successful lives with jobs and families. But now with the massive popularity of the gaming industry this has ruined most of our daily lives. Nowadays we see millenials living with their parents without jobs and playing video games all day in the basement. People get so much addicted to games that they quit their jobs to play games like WOW, PUBG, DOTA2, etc. full time. This is causing very harm to our society.

Video games are also the main culprit of depression and gun violence. Sometimes I imagine a world without video games and that world would have been a paradise.

speaking from people who own 62 games on steam.

maybe vidya ruin his life ? idk.

I agree op.

Video games are not the culprit. Video game addiction is a symptom of a larger problem, often centered around societal dysphoria. Depression has several dozen causes and none of them are video games. And gun violence is, again, a symptom of a much larger sickness within our society.

Video games are bad so you are correct

I am not addicted to games anymore so 62 games are enough for me. It took sheer mental power to finally break my addiction. I was addicted to games since 1998 but anymore.

Besides, I thought rock n' roll was causing society's downfall...

I though it was drugs.

Hey, does anybody remember how in the early 90's Satanism was causing society's downfall? Good times...

Oh, so video games are the main culprit of depression and gun violence? Never knew they existed in, say, both World Wars.

Thanks for the clickbait. NBC and New York Post were almost legit, but more than anything this is all just proof that our news media industry has failed us.
