British newspaper The Sun has launched an investigation claims that electronic games are as addictive as the heroin drug.
The article, published in the newspaper's edition yesterday, can be read online here for those who are willing to pay for it. The study reveals that brain scans made show that violent games are addictive and still claims that electronic games represent the next level of risk for mental health.
The following research data were listed:
- 5.000 calls to a clinic.
- Call of Duty linked to 3 suicides.
- Increased levels of dopamine in the brain.
- He's ecstatic.
The newspaper in question already has a long history when it comes to blaming video games for the bad behavior of players and although articles are constantly being released about the supposed negative impact of games on our lives, there is no evidence that the same occurs. On the other hand, there are studies that say exactly the opposite and talk about the benefits that playing can bring.
And you, do you think that video games have any negative effects on your behavior?
