We take responsibility in our action; things like this can be
avoided if all gamers know their limit and how to make our hobby
much fun and enjoyable
From the words itself, addiction, imagine how bad can possibly
be? Like many other addiction like alcoholic addiction and drug
addiction, gaming addiction is as serious. Many have lost their
jobs, their spouses and even their lives for playing online games.
They are literally living in the virtual world.
In late July, a 21-year-old online-gaming addict was found dead
in his home in Inchon, South Korea. Hed played intensely since
graduating from high school, rarely sleeping or leaving his room,
according to family members. In 2005 a 28-year-old man collapsed
and died from organ failure after playing for 50 hours straight. He
had apparently just lost his job because of his online-gaming
habit. Both incidents prime suspect is online gaming.A gaming
shutdown law is now being implemented in Korea where it aims to
demolish the addiction.
The country thought of another strategy to abolish the online
game addiction or at least lessen it. Cooling Off system is
introduced; this is to regulate the students of the amount of time
they spend in playing online games within the 24 hours. Soon the
video games addicts in South Korea will have limited hours to play
online games.
The newest strategy of Korea is this new law where allow parents
to communicate with online game providers and set time limits for
their children's online gaming. This comes as South Korea struggles
to deal with rampant Internet addiction among young people in South
Korea. And only shows how serious this online games addiction truly
is. Online game addiction is not a laughing matter; it is as deadly
as alcohol and drug addiction.
