Addictions & Compulsive Gaming Disorders
As per research conducted by the Gambling Health Alliance (GHA) in 2020, almost 15% of youngsters playing paid video games have made in-game purchases without parental consent. 9% of gamers had borrowed money to access these games and fell into huge debts. This money-making addiction to video games can manipulate and exploit gamers leading to huge debts and financial harm. Online gaming addiction can be classified as a disorder and the World Health Organisation (WHO) added the fact that gaming disorders are addictive behaviors dealing with drugs, gambling, and alcohol as well.
Android devices do not offer a powerful built-in parental control tool but third-party applications like Qustodio, Kaspersky, and Safe Kids can be downloaded for the same. Discord gained immense popularity as a method for gamers to chat and talk to each other and is a popular communication tool.
The Video Gaming industry has an estimated worth of $159.3 billion in 2020. Since 2019, there has been an increase of 9.3% and current forecasts believe that the industry would be worth $268 billion by 2025. APAC and Latin America showed maximum growth of 9.9% and 10.3% in 2021 as compared to 2019 figures.
