In this episode Ruth and Manon tackle addiction in video games. Game addiction has recently been recognised by WHO as an actual addiction. But when are you actually addicted? And do games purposely try to play into that addiction? Let’s discuss! Podcast based on the Game for Thought livestream of February 18th, 2021 by DAE Howest and Quindo.
