"They melt their brain as well as ruin their eyes and turns into a violent person." These are flat out lies, I'd like to see your sources on this.

It is more about drifting away from reality. This kind of practice is healthy when inside decent limits, it expands your mind, but most people affected start to live inside that game.

Sure, I am looking for it right now.

Thank you it means a lot to me that you provide these sources as my Niece is an avid gamer and I don't want to encourage her if this is true. I don't know the specific results of recent studies on gaming but I do know they are starting to classify hardcore gaming as a mental disorder.
