Thoughts on Video game gambling addiction?

[Ucy]

If you remember the game bluewhale you cannot say you never heard ban on games,most countries banned that game.

I dont remember this game specifically,

The game bluewhale was designed by psycho and it is task completion game,you know the last task will be suicidal of yourself.

Someone from the other side threat you to do these things or your personal pics will be released on the internet which was captured while doing the earlier task on the games.

What about a game called GTA?  Could it be that a psycho designed it too?
I don't know Bluewhale but if it's banned by governments why not GTA?  It seems what the game rewards is, theft, lawlessness, destruction, violence, murder.
The game could even transform someone into psycho if he/she is not a strong willed person.

Video games are loaded with aspects of gambling and people of all groups and ages play these games in modern times.  Many games have things like loot boxes that you pay for to random prizes, Runescape has the duel arena where you can gamble gold against one another, and there are many more examples.

People may start off with video games and then eventually move on to higher sums gambling in real casinos.  What are your thoughts on this matter and should anything be done?

I remember tekken. I always find a player in world of fun just to play and bet a game in tekken. Before online games and android games become trend, this is my hobby. I play video games when I was in high school. And I always win in tekken. Anyway, I also play GTA and EA SPORTS before. Those video games completed my childhood memories. I think people who have played much during their teenage years will become aware also in gambling.

Blue whale was very interesting video game but it targeted children and teens to do suicide in the end. They give you challenges and each challenge was more  risky then before and finally if you keep on accepting their challenges, the last one will be to try a suicide.

I do not know who developed this game and what was the agenda behind this game.

Obviously especially these days when skins and loot boxes make the game more exciting for the players from professionals to casual players. People are using the money to buy them, most of the time there are even people who bet on sites to win another in-game items for example dota2lounge(don't know if that is still live right now). I think the idea of loot boxes can make gamers aware of gambling.

If I were the government, I would see to it that all these online games are regulated. Any game that induces the player to become violent or involved in crimes should be banned, GTA and Bluewhale included. Somehow, it poisons the young minds of the children.

 

I don't have much problem with gambling within online games. Players often gamble with gold, skins, items, and so on. These are not worth worrying. These are game features that make the game more interesting. Spending real money for a premium account, for limited items and skills, and so on may not even be that much worrisome. This is limited spending, after all. Addiction to these computer games is a problem however. But it is a different topic already.

All in all, these are not comparable to gambling in online casinos, which could possibly exhaust all your real-life finances if uncontrolled.

I seen types of this games are also being played and some of those are doing a friendly bets against each others, we do have different generations but the addictions and the love for the game we've been use as a medium of enjoyment makes it similar, kids and adults might be much prone to addictions by now since the sources of gaming is everywhere and the gadgets to play any games are available from every channels that it have.

There is a difference between GTA and blue whale.  The destruction in the GTA is within the game but in blue whale they give you real life tasks.
There is hell lot of difference if you do violence  in the game and in the real world.

A huge share of excitement is not only in video games, but also in board card games, as well as in online casinos.  Here are just a lot of video games today that spread cruelty, and even if there is an age limit, children still play such video games.  I think that this is not about excitement, but about the moral education of new generations.

Well addiction is the topic mate but indeed what you say is right,these kind of gm are exploiting children’s and must be controlled by the government.my son once a victim of this kind of games but lucky that I come to rescue him from being lost.
He turns not going to school and just playing games in caffe but now he learned the mistakes

Hope that the world must be aware of the cases because this will bring the children to baddest future

Even before the takken, the most popular video game was Street Fighter. I remember when we were young we used to play street fighter a lot. This was the most played game ever. Fifa worldcup was my favorite sports by EA SPORTS although they have developed games for almost every sports game.
None of these games have money involved and hence there was no point of addiction.

It is not really an online gambling (not sure though). I think i downloaded or bought it in a software store back in 2013/2014 .   I still have it though but do not play it regularly.

It definitely could be turning young players into evil... perhaps the players are withholding the evil for fear of the law.

On games like GTA you are doing everything on mobile or system but on bluewhale you need to do the tasks in real life,something serious right?

Actually, GTA is a situation-based game that is all about a G life. If you know that it's not a good game especially for kids, why would you play that? I already played a lot of killing and action games but it didn't turn me out to be a psycho. It's just only a game, you should not be serious with that. I don't know bluewhale but if it's real-life game and it has more disadvantages, I think the government had some reasons to do that action.

I dont know why you guys trying to compare Bluewhale challenge and a typical pc game GTA V? If you try to search it up you would definitely see the different.
Video games do have different genre but most likely this do involved violence or related things which is really prohibited on young minds.
Like you,ive been playing games since elementary but it didnt turn myself to be a psycho.This do only matter on how you do treat the game and real-life situations.

The young people should be guided by their parents because at their state they're prone on being violent. If I would become a parent someday, I'll differentiate and explain it carefully that a game is a game only and they're aren't similar in reality.

Targeted players of bluewhale were loners.So they could convince the player to do anything as they want which caused lot of people end up being suicidal at the final task.But now that game is not available on any platform and also the one who created were arrested by the respective government.

It's kinda scary.

Why did the platform accept an agreement with bluewhale without checking if it's good for the audience or not?
If you know the movie Nerve, it's a similar thing where they command the other players to do anything what they want for money.

Having an addiction is very bad. If you're doing anything you should always avoid being addicted to it, cause such is going to ruin your life. Even without gambling, being addicted to just video games is bad, not to talk of adding gambling to that and then it becomes worst? gambling and Video game addiction joined together.

The worst of it all is that I don't even know how to tell these people that it is bad, because I do know some of them in real life and they never accept that what they are doing is wrong.

Video games are recommend by many people for getting rid off gambling addictions as it costs nothing. But, getting addicted to video games again makes the process of fighting against addictions more complex.

The problem here is that the adults play the gambling game and the children play the video games and both of them has the disadvantages.

Adults lose money in gambling while children lose their precious time in video games and waste a lot of time when they should be studying.

It is good to be addicted to good things like studying, meditating, prayers and helping others! However, been addicted to something you know it will run your life is what is bad and playing video games until you cannot do without it is bad and you will ever live an unfulfilled life if you get addicted to it.

Virtual reality will add another twist in the game in future.

And it's already happening, the industry of sports has another typed and that's e-sports which is also known as electronic sports.

You play video games with has specific genre, MOBA, fighting and other genre that you are good at. And the same time, many sports betting sites are also watching closely those specific games that has large viewership and interested gamblers.
