Why would it be harmful? Anything can be addictive, as long as it's in moderation and not 24/7 there is nothing wrong with it

For people with low intellect, yes.

if it becomes an addiction it could be harmful

no, I used to be on Habbo 24/7 and I'm fine

I actually became a more open-minded person too

It depends on the person.

No, but certain aspects of gamer culture can be

if you regulate the time spent playing games, and take breaks to stretch, eat and rest your eyes and mind then it's fine.

I don't think so, tbh. Of course there are extreme cases like with anything, but overall no.

Only violent games.

Not at all.

Not necessarily, however everything is harmful in excess.

As a college student, I can firmly agree that gaming is handy at times. Most of my time is taken up by homework, etc. and sometimes you only have little time to yourself to do something "fun". These short periods are not long enough to go out and hang out with friends. It's also just inconvenient for them, especially if they're in school during the week.

Finding a mix of both reading and gaming is the ultimate pass time imo. Although an excess of reading won't cause much harm, I think.

Nope. Only if it becomes an addiction.

only if you support GamerGate

I think really really really young kids that are growing up essentially addicted to video games will probably develop without solid human to human social skills. Same can be said for most technology though.

Nope.

No, unless it becomes addictive

Stanning the way a few people do it here is way more harmful

Anything can be harmful if you do it too much
Except drinking water I think

Eh, not really. Though it depends.
