One Life Left - Gaming Addiction Awareness

Greetings Summoners,

I recently started an online campaign to raise awareness about gaming addiction. Gaming addiction is something really close to my heart and I've seen the damaging effects it had on my own life, as well as the effect it had on some of the gamers I played alongside with.

This campaign is NOT about labelling all games as bad - it's the opposite. It's about separating healthy (I count the occasional 3-day-long LoL binge healthy) and addictive gaming behaviours. Real gaming addiction isn't just being glued to your pc, it's about the extreme issues of losing relationships, employment and education commitments as well as the enormous psychological toll.

Do you know someone suffering from game addiction? Have you experienced it? What are your thoughts about the issue? It doesn't have to be LoL related - it can be device/console as well (but who even uses them any more, PC master race) I'm keen to hear if you've had any experiences with the issue/heard of it before! Don't be shy!

PLEASEEEEE Check out the website/FB/Instagram! http://1lifeleft.wix.com/onelifeleft https://www.facebook.com/onelifeleftdontwasteit https://instagram.com/onelifeleft.dontwasteit/

I feel gaming addiction is shown very well in Binding of Issac

The treasure chest represents the separate person world Issac has which can be used for gaming

However if you leave yourself in the chest long enough its gonna close on you and you'll sufficate

Sorry had to leave this here
