Very nice article, I am following you now, please follow me and check out my work

First and foremost, you need to make sure that he’s truly addicted. Spending a lot of time playing games is more normal than you may think.

Addiction is when you prioritize playing your game over everything else. Including your basic needs. Like eating, working/studying, etc.

As long as your son doesn’t prioritize his game over everything else, then chances are that he’s fine. Let’s use my playtime as an example.

If you look at the image above, you see that I’ve counted almost 70 hours of playtime in just two weeks. That’s a lot of hours isn’t it? Someone who isn’t a gamer, like you, could definitely mistake me for an addict.

Yet, here I am. Browsing Quora, attending my full-time job, taking care of personal hygiene and cleaning my room, while still counting more than 30 hours of playing every week.

Addicted people have a very rough time of giving up on their games. They can’t think of anything else. They can hardly focus on doing anything else.

And now you may ask: “If you’re not addicted, then why do you spend so much time playing?”. Because it’s extremely fun. That’s all there is to it.

To me, playing games is much more fun than going out for a walk, playing a match of basketball, or anything like that. And that comes from someone who was a runner at a very young age. I managed to finish half a marathon (22 KM) into my early teens. And here I am now, playing video games for hours to no end.

So, there you have it. Chances are that your son is not addicted and that he’s just having so much more fun playing video games than doing any other hobbies/activities.

If you notice that he’s indeed ignoring his basic needs and harming himself in any way in order to play, then forget about Quora and deleting games and consult an expert. Dunno. Maybe a psychiatrist or something like that. Cause if he truly is addicted, then taking away his games may create some unpredictable effects.
