Video Games & Addiction

Do you know how many times you have not slept in the night to finish a level? What is the sum of money you have invested in games, consoles, equipment? Most people will not be able to answer any of these questions exactly. It is likely, in fact, that those have never been raised. When this happens in the most powerful digital industry of the moment, such as the videogame industry, the reasons for such ignorance should be considered. Video Games and Addiction, tells a series of logical stories about the evolution, progress and revolution of playful digital entertainment. However, instead of being a mere historicist analysis, it puts first the most important people, the players. Telling in turn numerous anecdotes from real life that put into perspective the difference between passion and vice, taste and need, choice and escapism. Confessional in part, with its good dose of reflective thinking, more than one reader will be rethinking the conclusions. When not, being identified in the anecdotes. Or at least informed about the changes, for better and worse, from the pixel to the polygon in the last 50 years. If you feel ready, insert a coin and go through this deconstruction made book, which analyzes at what level we like, get entertained and trapped by that world behind the screen.
