Discussion: Why We Play Games (Addiction)

[Jarrastafari]

Hi guys; I'm posting this thread as part of my dissertation research on the topic of addiction, as I want to find out people's individual opinions on why they play games. So I would like each of your opinions on:

• Why you play games?
• Do you get addicted to certain games?
• If so, do you know why (what hooks you)?

Since it's part of my research I will be using your responses as part of dissertation, which may include using some posts as quotes. I remember reading a thread similar to this before but I wanted to report this so I could get answers relevant to my research specifically. I hope you guys can contribute, thank you.
