"Gameadiction Norway" wants limitations for how long people can play videogames in one sitting.
- My son was so adicted to World of Warcraft that he played for 16 hours a day. In the end he had one choice. Stop playing. Or commit suicide. And I`m glad he chose to stop playing, says Åse Mette Østland, from "Gameadiction Norway".
She thinks a message on the loadingscreen like in Metal Gear Solid 4, where it says "You been playing for several hours, time for a break?". Or that your character get`s weaker and more in need for a break like it is implimated in World of Warcraft in China, could help against gameadiction. She wants gamedevelopers to implement such messaures in their games. Especially in online RPGs.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Danish from eXputer: "Despite Blizzard's attempt to give a fresh new spin to World of Warcraft, some fans still seem to be stuck in the past."
HG writes: "Blizzard is usually pretty bad at keeping secrets, but the company somehow managed to keep this one under wraps until now. Plunderstorm is a special limited-time event that’s basically World of Warcraft’s take on the Battle Royale genre."
You have to be a sandwich short of a picnic in the first place to want to die or harm anybody over a videogame."Stop playing. Or commit suicide", see my point!
limit how much fast food and alcohol one can consume first
too bad for console players since they cant edit the files on games, on the PC sure it will have mods or hacks to remove all that BS.
thinking for yourself is so over rated.
How is a message going to stop people from playing to long? If you play to the point of almost dying there is something extremely wrong with you're brain and you need serious mental health treatment. Playing for that long is way past addiction. I have had friends with major drug addictions and they did not even spend that amount of time just feeding there addiction.
