At a time when the problem of addiction to the screen and dopamine content is being discussed more and more often, it is time to ask ourselves from the perspective of adult gamers: are today’s games harmful to youth?
The modern era has brought us the modern problem of screen addiction. Some call it digital autism, a condition that particularly affects children’s development. And while social networks and endless content platforms are seen as the main cause of screen addiction, video game addiction follows suit.
Of course, as this portal brings together video game lovers, each of us has been crazy about games at least once in our life and on several occasions overplayed our game. However, older generations of players can often say that those were different times and that we played different things. The barrier to entry into the world of video games was higher because not everyone could afford a console or computer. Games were more difficult to come by, the choice of what could be played was much smaller than today. And the very design of those games was totally different compared to what we have today.
With that in mind, as adult gamers, we have to ask ourselves a serious question: Are today’s games harmful to children? Is the answer simple or conditioned by certain items and circumstances? As usual, the survey offers several predetermined answers, but be sure to share your opinion on this topic in the comments below the survey itself.
