You know what also helps? Good parenting.

Couldnt have said it better. Far too many parents use gaming as their kids babysitter. Everyone should be allowed to game, but there should be time restrictions for people with other responsibilities.

I saw a mom with two really young kids (maybe 2 and 3) on the train yesterday. Both kids were playing on a smartphone and the mom was sleeping. Give your kids some f*ckin' books. It isn't hard.

Most video games aren't even good enough anymore to get addicted to them. I get bored after a while. The last game I even got close to being addicted to was Overwatch, but then again Blizzard is known for making addictive games.

What about Netflix, Youtube, Twitter, Facebook addiction?

kayoss1742d ago

Is it an addiction? Why is it playing video game is an addiction but studying too much is not an addiction, why isn’t reading too much an addiction, why isn’t watching too much tv an addiction, or traveling an addiction?
These people cherry picks certain things and call them an “addiction” but leave other things out. Playing a lot of video game is not an addiction, it’s a choice.

First step is they get you addicted to heroin and pills. At first you cant afford any new games and eventually you sell all your games and consoles for drugs.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
