MMORPGs How they have changed for the better? or worse?

[Alexandre_Noireau]

And yet there are clear distinct differences between illegal drugs and video games. You found some points of commonality between two things and you're using that as an excuse to call video games "drugs", but that is still nonsense. You can link coffee and drugs and claim they activate the very same processes and brain interconnections with several kind of drugs, but it will 1.- Still come off as nonsense if you call Starbucks a drug dealer.

You are making the 2.- Grave mistake of equating a lifestyle to suicide. How one chooses to live their life is completely antithetical to ending it. 3.- If you believe playing video games are a form of suicide, then that is because of your subjective viewpoints on what living life is.

By a different subjective measure, it can be said that those who engage in forms of entertainment have a zest for life. I'm afraid your not being very objective when it comes to the topic of video games and other people's lifestyle choices.

I support people seeking happiness regardless of employment or education status. You call it passive suicide, I call it life.

1.- Actually don't, it is a drug and in case it makes the person unable to have proper social interactions, a healthy lifestyle and/or care for their mental health in general. Then again caffeine addicts exist and caffeine is an actual drug. Legalized or Illegal doesn't change the fact that they are drugs and prolonged, out of control and socially endanring drugs can be both legal and illegal. It doesn't matter if its videogames, trans-fat or cocaine, addiction acts the same on the social behavior of the person and it's brain functions.

2.- You are making the grave mistake of confusing any lifestyle with a healthy lifestyle. You might fool yourself to think that being morbidly obese or spend all your life in a room playing video games is a HEALTHY lifestyle, it isn't. Period.

3.- Stop twisting words btw. I said that a person that already suffers from mental illness is in a dire situation if it's supported on their conditioned behaviors to keep an unhealthy lifestyle of social isolation. Then again, you keep on saying that im saying that videogames are causing these issues when i've said like 5, six with this, that videogames are not the cause, they are just like really bad to them, in general.

Nobody asked for the perspective of "healthy biosocial development".

People that think human life, quality of life, and a proper mental health are important do care.
Ask any psychiatrist or psychologist about the idea of mentally ill person spending +10 hours without social interaction (basic human contact) and if its a valid "lifestyle". Valid, probably. Healthy? Come on.
