In this theme, a very interesting title has been determined by the community so that we are very suitable to follow and write articles about the theme that has been determined.* Game dependence or addiction to games. As we can see today, there are lots of people who are very addicted to various games on their smartphones or laptops and so on, so they spend a lot of time on these games. Someone who plays games is indeed a relative entertainment for them, but there are lots of people who like to spend time on games. Online game addiction can be interpreted as a mental disorder in someone because they have been encouraged to play games excessively in their daily lives and they are eager to leave their work or their activities to play games. If it's like this, it seems that the person has experienced problems in their physiology. Game addiction can also be experienced by children to adults and this if done excessively will have a very bad impact on their lives. As we know today, there are various kinds of games, both online games and offline games, so it can cause a lot of people who are attached to games and they spend their time just playing games. Alright I will write some things that impact make someone become addicted to the game | -| * Takes a lot of time to play the game, they are more comfortable and happy with it * Feeling angry and stressed when you can't play the game. * Sometimes a person spends so much time playing games that they forget their daily activities and cannot rest or study because they keep playing games. * Spend a lot of money to buy internet packages or deposits about the game so this can be detrimental to someone who is addicted to the game. Some things that can cause someone to be addicted to this game are constantly monitored by their parents because this kind of thing looks very bad to them, as for some ways to overcome these things from parents. | -| * Parents can find hobbies for their children Trying to take children to other places to find new hobbies for them so they leave sexism. * Limit their time in playing games, the example I can give is if for example a child plays games 4 hours a day then parents can limit them to reduce their time playing games to be less. I think it's something like this if we continue to do it so that the child can slowly forget the game. * Do not put the game device where he likes to sit the most like in the room and in other places. But put the game device in places that are a little more saturated when we play it. ![img_0.8799130718477852](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeN9eCAQL5RoTAqnoBjs6TypysGXN16qC9eZvLALeLjyH/img_0.8799130718477852.jpg) ![img_0.41881799184727236](https://images.ecency.com/DQmZW2ijaj1noTqukBEERrVSWmycbpCpw6MStvdJ7ypkFo3/img_0.41881799184727236.jpg) [Source](https://pixabay.com/id/photos/konsol-permainan-sony-video-game-6603120/) ![img_0.8799130718477852](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeN9eCAQL5RoTAqnoBjs6TypysGXN16qC9eZvLALeLjyH/img_0.8799130718477852.jpg) As in this day and age, we have seen a lot that sometimes playing games is also beneficial for someone. And many also we see gamers they create more game accounts then they sell to people who need them so they can earn. As this is already considered by them as their daily work so they do not need to carry out activities elsewhere. In today's era we also see a lot of teenagers sitting in coffee shops to spend their time playing games and among some of them only one person can make money from games but the others just play as usual without earning anything. Sometimes they are attracted to their friends who make money so they also want to be like their friends but sometimes their fate is not like friends who get money. For something like this, I think it is also very dangerous because the essence of a teenager or someone who is still in school is of course they are asked by their parents to study either in books or on the internet, but sometimes they just spend their time. Playing games excessively is also very dangerous in terms of health, because it can make the eyes hurt or blur so that someone has to treat the eyes at an expensive cost. Someone who plays games that already earns money, of course, that person has prioritized gaming as their job. But in my opinion, we have to take into account things like this, how much time we spend on games and how much we earn here. We have to calculate if we spend more time but make a little profit, it's also not good because we lose on the time we have spent. But if they are playing games that are paid handsomely so that they can meet all their needs from this money I think it has become a good job, and a lot of people as we see gamers keep wanting to play and record their games and they also set up a YouTube account so that they can benefit from both sides of both YouTube and the game. In the past I also really like playing games but as long as I play games I never get any profit at all instead I spend a lot of time playing games and can't do anything for my daily activities. Of course, if I remember that time, it was very unfavorable for me and after I got to know blogs, of course this is better for me to learn and can be profitable and can also add experience or knowledge. Maybe that's all I can write on this occasion, hopefully what I have written can be useful for myself and also for others who read it. Thank you to all the seniors in the community who have supported me and also to all the community members who have joined. In writing this article I used my own language, namely Indonesian, then I translated it into English with the help of Google translate, so if there are one or two wrong words, please forgive me because I really didn't do it on purpose. ![img_0.8799130718477852](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeN9eCAQL5RoTAqnoBjs6TypysGXN16qC9eZvLALeLjyH/img_0.8799130718477852.jpg) Special Thanks : @hive-learners @bruno-kema ![img_0.8799130718477852](https://images.ecency.com/DQmeN9eCAQL5RoTAqnoBjs6TypysGXN16qC9eZvLALeLjyH/img_0.8799130718477852.jpg)
