Has the same effects as almost all recreational activities that involve somewhat lower interaction with people.

Whilst people play and enjoy sports such as football and rugby this is accepted due to to large amount of social interaction and banter that goes hand in hand with such physical interactions.

The playing of computer games is often tarred with stereotypes and tied to social stigmas even given the large amount of social interaction that happens in games in modern times, thus many representations or opinions on the effect of games upon an individuals psyche or other aspects are subjective at best.
