Djabelek Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Do Children Understand Why They're Being Neglected Due to SWTOR (or any mmo)? Do they look at their parents playing SWTOR and wonder why will so and so not feed me? or Do they go to the kitchen themselves? I traded mine off to the sand people. They thought they a good deal 3 kids over 25 yrs old plus4 kittens 1 great Pyrenes and In return I got a Speeder and one milking banta and I don't have my children living with me anymore.

Ezekiel Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Dont laugh, many kids around the world have been neglected due to MMO's Sorry but that's not true. Not a single kid has been neglected due to MMO's. Kids are neglected due to careless parents nomatter what other idiotic things those parent might be spending time on. End of story.

xianpu Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_addiction#Notable_deaths Enjoy That is disturbing stuff right there. Read through a few of them and I'm absolutely horrified. I am of the opinion though that these people have issues in the first place, like extremely addictive personalities. If it wasn't video games it would be something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavot Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_addiction#Notable_deaths Enjoy In November 2008 Shawn Woolley committed suicide due to the popular computer game Everquest. Shawn’s mother said the suicide was due to a rejection or betrayal in the game from a character Shawn called “iluvyou” That one...amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plogg Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 There is no "Video game addiction" there is only compulsion... An addiction is a change in brain chemistry where you can suffer physiological trauma because you are without a substance (see meth, cocaine etc) a video game cannot do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbalist Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 This reminds me of that show The Guild. Where the big blonde lady let her kids run wild in the kitchen, or left them in a department store as a babysitting substitue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
