This is so true because I experienced the same thing because my brother was an computer games addictor.
He was totally changed after he started play video games. He became very rude and not respecting the elders. Any bad words would possible come out from his mouth and violent characteristic also embeded deep in his soul. Besides, people nowadays are also addicted to handphone or we can said social networks. SMS has been replaced by social networks. Social networks’ s users that cannot filter the information they received can cause a detrimental effect on their behaviour. Lastly, my advice to all people who addited to these IT, please control yourself when you use these technology just like how you control the joystick! Your family may suffer from your bad behaviour. Think about your family before you do something that could really hurt them.

It can destroy in a way that many children nowadays are addicted to video games. The bonding quality time between the parents and the children is lessen because children today spend most of their time playing video games and even their studies is affected.

This is so true, because you won’t notice the time when playing video games. You get exhausted after playing, then you went to sleep and play again once you wake up.

Well I feel that video games is nothing more than a hobbie, and it just so happends that majorty of the people who play it are men, and in most relationships women dont want anything to do with video games. When in actuality they should participate in the same activities and hobbies that their partner likes. Just l how women want thier men to go shopping with them.

I play a lot of games and it is true. Game makes your partner feel unwanted and not needed from time to time and causes some friction which leads to fights. =[

I don’t think there is a direct relation between Video Games and Relationships. Although, time away from friends and families and significant other because of video games is a factor of bad relationships.

I would have to agree. Most video games are addicting to the point that the person becomes withdrawn from their social life and tends to spend more time playing the game. Most of the time they do not want to be disturb. This is where arguments begin.

Well I think that there is a connection between video games and relationship quality. Think about it, your relationships aren’t going to have much to them if you are addicted to video games and play them constantly…then you aren’t spending time with your family/friends/significant other…now I don’t think video games make your relationship bad by any means…but it does hinder your relationships.

I’ve never played video games, and never will. And guess what, I’ve been an alcoholic and have had lots of troubles when I was young. And the geeks that did, in my classroom, all got to become successful people, with careers and lots of money. That doesn’t make me say that video games make you rich, so why would you say that they make you prone to addiction?

There’s no connection between video games and relationship quality. It’s as silly as saying that violent movies make you a criminal, or that romantic movies make you a great romantic lover. Let’s be serious for a second, if we may.

This article is well written, but has a misleading title. The article itself makes clear that video games and relationship quality are connected, but makes no claim that video games cause bad relationships.

Rather, it could be that people who struggle in relationships tend to gravitate to video games as an escape. The following quote emphasizes this point:

“It may be that young adults remove themselves from important social settings to play video games, or that people who already struggle with relationships are trying to find other ways to spend their time,” Walker said. “My guess is that it’s some of both and becomes circular.”
