Comment Don't want to deal with real life (Score 1) 614
I think it all really depends on the personality. I have a friend who divorced her husband and left with the kids because he would never leave EQ. Everytime I saw him he was sitting in front of the computer.
It got to be really bad. But the extreme to which he took it was totally based on how much he didn't want to deal with real life. I have met a few DND players who put tremendous game time in because they don't have to deal with reality.
I'm not saying all gamers get addicted because they are trying to escape reality, don't get me wrong I like a good 8 hour DND game. But the extremists may not be happy with life in general to begin with.
