ere are some interesting facts. Let’s look at some reasons why people think gaming is harmful. Before you read them, ask yourself this question – “how can playing video games too much harm me?”
Ruins your eyesight....
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Ruins your eyesight? - So does my fucking job.
You don’t get much sleep when you play a video game that is just too interesting and/or addicting. - Just like any fucking hobbies you're that into.
Your kidneys could damage or explode from not noticing when you need to urinate. - And I could get hit by a bus if I wasn't to notice that either.
Forgetting real life, social activities and sports. - They're obviously less interesting than what you're already into... ergo not worth your time.
Violence. Like a kid bringing a gun to school. - Try watching the news, a film, reading the fucking bible... Violence is human nature, a child taking a gun to school doesn't do it because he played Super Mario World... He did it because he either has mental issues, or simply doesn't like anyone at school.
People always need something to blame rather than taking any responsibility themselves.
That picture reminds me of a certain person in the news today...
Why this title is a question?
What this article's purpose?
I agree, and same thing with pen and paper role playing games. They cause you to think about things in a certain way that you would not think about things if you were not exposed to the games...
For example, after world war 2 the US Army started having soldiers practice shoot at targets that looked like humans, because without that desensitization soldiers would tend to shoot over their targets because they didn't want to kill people... After they started desensitizing soldiers to killing people the US kill ratio went way up.
Now days the military uses FPS games and pen and paper role playing games to get soldiers to think a certain way, and to be desensitized to killing people. The more realistic the murder simulator the better the results.
Also, I know that playing FPS's has altered my thinking about war... For example, FPS's taught me that the best way to defend an area is to stand outside it and look at it, and shoot the invaders in the back (camp the objective)
And in light of that the USA policy on the middle east sort of makes sense to me, because it is easier to defend the US by sending troops over there, than it is to keep them here. sigh...
But then I am a country boy, and I have had a lot of lessons that taught me that Ma Nature is a vicious bitch.
On Edit: But I disagree that this world view is harmful, merely realistic...
On Edit At Below:
I'll be shooting you when you stand on that objective then;P
I can't lie to you guys.
I read the article title and got stuck there.
"Why People Think Gaming is Harmful?"
My mind keeps trying to put a "do" in there, or it's trying to replace the question mark with a period.
Make it stoooooop!
