Virtual Reality < Real World^ Doesn't understand psychology.
If someone is "known" on BNet or Halo, don't you think they're more inclined to participate in that virtual world where they're known/popular, than a world where they're a nobody?
That's why people get so into/addicted to Xbox.. It's a world where they can be someone completely different, and get away with it. Internet anonymity is a trap that catches many people. For some people. Virtual World > Real World.I actually took Physch at college. I completely understand your comment.
But sadly like any other addiction, Xbox acts like a drug and those that are caught too much in its web can't actually see the damage its doing to them.
It's sad really when people start to think that meaningless numbers in a video game define their very exsistence.It's more that they are something, and it makes them happy. Their real life is nothing, not many friends, no money, no job. Then they find XBL, where they can be the people who bullied them in school, and they have friends, people like them, people think they're good at something.
Then they get addicted to the feeling of being something, and like you said, it defines them.
Nothing lasts forever though, eventually they will break free and realise how much time they have wasted....hopefully.Yeah. I think this happens when they leave school, to be honest. Usually when they move onto the next stage in their life. They go to college, or start working, and all of a sudden, they have another chance to be something, but this time it's real. If they succeed, they stop playing Xbox, if they fail, they stay the same.
Personally I think it's up to the parents to prevent this. If my future kids played games online, I'd limit them.
