Is gaming the demon of the hobby world?

AD

For years, gaming has had to contend with the fact that there are people out there who see it as the demon of the gaming world. It’s perceived as a bad hobby due to some less-than-ideal behavior from some people in the past. However, some people do bad things all the time, and it’s just easier to blame the influence of things like games rather than face the truth.

In this article, we will discuss some of the information you may be interested in learning when it comes to gaming. Keep reading if you would like to find out more.

Does it promote cheating?

First, we want to look at whether it promotes cheating. We don’t think so, but it has been said that it does for several different reasons. For example, some people think that the fact that you can use bot lobbies to complete missions on certain games and that you can buy accounts that have already been loaded with achievements to avoid having to do them yourself.

We can see why some people would think that this was a lazy way out, but who cares? If someone wants to purchase bo6 accounts for example, why does it matter? There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to complete all of the side quests but still wanting what you get from them.

Does it cause problems with socializing?

Some people say that gaming causes a problem with socializing as people want to socialize less when they have gaming as a hobby. We’re not exactly sure why this is thought of, but it’s not true.

Gaming can be super social, especially if you play with your friends, or perhaps with people online (as long as you are being safe about it). 

You might be interested to know that a lot of people find gaming helps them with their social skills, and gives them the confidence that they need to transfer this to their real life.

Do people behave badly?

Lastly, can games cause people to behave badly? No, they can’t. People cause people to behave badly and do bad things, and it’s not fair to blame games, video games, or otherwise, for the decisions of people.

We do understand that these games can have influence on kids, but this is why games that have explicit content have age restrictions on them.

You must be taking note of the age rating of games, and if you have kids that want to get into gaming, ensure that they are only playing the ones that are age-appropriate.

So to be honest, it’s up to you to form your own opinion about gaming. There’s no concrete evidence to suggest that just because someone plays games, they are more likely to be a negative member of society, and therefore, what’s the problem? Just because some people have had issues in the past, doesn’t mean that this paintbrush should have been used for the entire gaming community.
