Art, Games, and Tech Discussion
When I see this week’s topic “ Art, Technology and Games”, I have lots of words to say about games. Because I have many friends like play games, they always play that all day without rest, just like addicted to it. So I think people who like playing games are crazy. However, in the video from TED talk by Jane McGonigal, she is game designer, she believes that people spend 3 billion hours a week on playing games is not enough, we need spend 21 billion hours on playing games every week, that is motivate people to face difficulties and try to solve these problems. However, I do not agree with her opinion, because I cannot see this spirituality from my friends, they are also game players, but they are lazy and crazy! So, I do not believe playing games can bring a good future for them. My question is “What types of games can not make people addicted playing games?“

Although you disagree with the fact that video games could be beneficial, I think your question posts a good question to think about. Not all video games are addicting, I think it really depends on the personality of the person when looking into addictive behaviors. Some people can play video games and not be addicted at all, while others can play and be consumed by the games. I think a game that makes you wait or only play a certain amount per day could allow people to play but be restricted. This would control how much people could play and possibly prevent addiction. This could be something that McGongal could incorporate into her games to prevent addiction while monitoring hours people play to see if people playing more are actually doing much better.

I think your idea is good, but I still cannot believe that people who like playing games will not be addicted by that. As you said that”a game that makes you wait or only play a certain amount per day could allow people to play but be restricted”. I think this is a good idea, but lots of games are want to attract more players, so they will not limit the time of the game, and they do not want lose any players. So that’s is impossible for game designers to design a game which is avoid people playing games for a long time, that means they will lose their jobs, just kidding. In addition, people who are like playing games are not easy to stop to play games, so that’s why I think that games are easy to make people addicted.

For your question, I think the most of popular games can make people addicted while bad game cannot. I think McGonigal’ argument is rational based on her explanations. She argues playing games is beneficial to four aspects, which are blissful productivity, social fabric, urgent optimism, and epic meaning. You disagree with her argument because your friends who playing games much are lazy and crazy. Your argument is right and I am also lazy. Therefore, I think if we want to resolve the actual problems through playing games we need to bring certain objectives to play game not just for fun. In addition, the game designers need to make sure the gamers will not be addicted by the games.

If you think about it, before video games, people were addicted to other things whether that be cards or sports or anything for that matter. It is interesting to think that years from now people will be addicted to some new thing that is out there. Video games are addicting now because they are still fairly new. I do not necessarily get the enjoyment of them, you basically do the same thing every single time you play. The only way for the vast majority of people to play video games is to make a bad video game. Even if you do that, there will still be people out there who will play the game. Because of today’s societies, there is an obsessive nature when it comes to technology. Technology is forever evolving and it is hard to put a stop to something that is progressively moving forward.
