I believe that younger people, especially teenagers, are more susceptible to developing a gaming addiction. For adults, family responsibilities tend to limit this tendency somewhat, but that doesn’t mean older people can’t also be addicted to video games.
I really enjoy video games, but I started playing later in life because, during my teenage years, my financial situation didn’t allow me to afford even a Super Nintendo. Computer games today seem more addictive than they were in the past, primarily because of the increased interactivity between players.
However, all the questions the administrator raised at the beginning of this topic also apply to cell phone addiction, whether it’s for gaming or other uses. And here, age doesn’t seem to matter. Perhaps the biggest issue with the lack of social interaction between people nowadays is, arguably, related to social media addiction. Today, social media appears to be even more addictive than games.
