According to the authors, teenage online players have a "number of serious social problems" when they are attracted by online game. In fact, they spend lots of time in fantasy world than their real life such as studing in the school and other physical activities. In the game stores, they pay a lot of money to improve their gear or level.(my real Experience) Seriously, they will dream about bad behaviors which they suffer in game or real life. Sometimes, they try to murder somebody like in the game. They hard to distinguish the real life and virtual world. And most of the online games are about bloody, violence or war. In addition, they also try to steal others' account. (Sometimes, the account of online games have the real value for the lots of people. It's my real Experience.)And, that account can sell for millions of dollar. That's an example for antisocial behavior. As a result, these factors cause teenagers to a number of serious problems. (That's why i quit WOW)
I am not a fan of any kinds of games, but as you told I do not know why many of games are based on violent behavior. I think the ones which are more challenging are more interesting, for bring on children to think and involve.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Elham, why most of the successful games based on violence not challenging ??
ReplyDeleteAlbert, I agree with you, you should quit if you had bad experience
