Video Game Addicts

from the good-filler-story dept

Every month or so it seems that some publication somewhere comes up with an article about video game addicts. Now, it's Wired's turn. They look at Evercrack mostly, but also talk about people who played games like Civilization for a week straight. I'm wondering when people will start filing lawsuits against the game companies for creating an addictive substance.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

      To addicts

      Use an alarm clock if your addicted to games. Set how many hours your going to play each day. It is a really good Time Management strategy technique because when you play you won't lose track of time.
