Video games are one of the most popular forms of entertainment that are played and enjoyed by millions of people across the world. But while many people have taken tremendous enjoyment playing video games without facing any adverse effects; some children and adults have become addicted. Whether if it is how easy it is for people to get and play video games, the increased realism of many video games, or the competitive nature of many people who play video games.
