WHY ARE VIDEO GAMES CONTROVERSIAL?

Nowadays, video games have become not only one of the most popular free-time activities, but also the focus of several controversies. Why has this happened?

There are many reasons why video games have become so controversial. First of all, they are created to engage people that finally become addicted. This means that video games become a waste of time for these people. Furthermore, spending so much time watching a screen without moving, and “living” a fake life in a fake world can cause players several problems or diseases (either physical or psychological) such as epilepsy.

There wouldn’t be any controversy if people played less time with video games and spent it doing other activities such as practising any sport, reading, visiting museums..., but this can happen only if all the governments, institutions and educators make an effort to change people’s minds.

To sum up, playing video games is a controversial activity for many reasons like the loss of time it supposes, but if everyone changes their mind on this issue, there won’t be any more disagreement.
