There are many factors in which can affect a relationship.
Other people meddling in it, tasks you have to do, events and other circumstances.
In the Philippines, there is one other
thing that not many may agree as to a factor that can affect a relationship.
And that is a video game.
There are many studies that proved that video games have
affected relationships. There are many reasons as to why video games affect
this. The most famous reason is that of the time spent by the gamer playing
the game.
According to Howard Brown in his article entitled "AreVideo Games Harming your Relationships?" video
game addiction is one of the ten most common addictions in our society.
And in every addiction you spend so many time in it, causing your time with
others to lessen considerably. Howard
also said that symptoms of addiction included:
- Spending several hours each day
playing video games
- Becoming defensive about the
amount of time spend playing games, if confronted
- Staying home from work to spend
more time playing games
- Neglecting friends, family, and
significant others to play video games
As he said, you tend to neglect your significant others and loved
ones. Thus, it will affect the relationship and may actually end it.
This got me thinking, since dating sims are sub categories
of video games, won't it still have the same affect for those relationships
that the gamer addicted to it have? Furthermore since it is kind of another
relationship inside the game itself. Isn't it kind of worst than playing a
normal relationship? Is it really a ground to end a relationship already?
