When there are halal and better ways of recreation then why opt for haram or wasteful ones. Islam guides us in all aspects of our life. Even in recreation.

I never said haram activities should be allowed for recreation.

Quote:
Many of those who use the Playstation and similar games miss prayers because of them, and get distracted from many of their religious and worldly interests, which makes us certain that such things are forbidden.

But for those who can put things in their proper place, and play these games for a little while as a form of leisure, but do not miss any of their duties or worldly or religious interests because of them, whilst ensuring that the games they play are free of evils such as music and pictures of naked women, etc, then there is no sin in that, in sha Allaah.

I have been a game addict and I have some experience in this "field". Video games are designed in such a manner that they are addictive and the reward and progression system and beautiful graphics and sounds activate dopamine.

Don't tell me that in this age people will be playing Diggers or Pacman or Atari. This is the age of xbox 360 and ps4.

It is He Who has brought into being gardens, the cultivated and the wild, and date-palms, and fields with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and variegated. Eat of their fruit in season, but give (the poor) their due on harvest day. And do not waste, for God does not love the wasteful. [Quran 6:141]

It shocks me how many adults are hooked on online gaming. It’s not even the children anymore it’s grown up adults whose responsibilities are being effected because they’re hooked on gaming. It does seem like an addiction not like how playing games is perceived from when the first P.C. or gaming console was introduced.

You know it’s a problem when it’s an obsession and a person sleeps eat and lives for gaming. Hoping in the near future it will be treated as an addiction and support is provided. It’s difficult watching kids zombified by gaming even worse seeing adults.

It's already considered an addiction as are drugs in some parts of the world.

Scientists have studied addiction gaming, showing that the neurological distortions are indistinguishable from those recorded in alcohol or drug addiction. As with those forms of addiction, the ‘reward systems’ in the brain are differentially activated by those things that predict game playing, and game-play success, and as in other forms of addiction, the potential joys of everything else that would normally be rewarding are attenuated. An addicted individual is slowly detached from the societal mainstream and from positive human attachment to their family and local community by this shift in what is rewarding for their brains—all in favor of the meaningless, artificial rewards delivered by their videogames.

Since the average South Korean high school student spends about 23 hours each week gaming (8) , another 1.2 million are believed to be at risk for addiction and to require basic counseling. In particular, therapists worry about the increasing number of individuals dropping out from school or work to spend time on computers (5) . As of June 2007, South Korea has trained 1,043 counselors in the treatment of Internet addiction and enlisted over 190 hospitals and treatment centers (7) . Preventive measures are now being introduced into schools (9) .

At an addiction treatment center in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, teenagers and young adults begin detox by admitting they are powerless over their addiction. But these addicts aren't hooked on drugs or alcohol. They are going cold turkey to break their dependence on video games.

www.webmd.com/mental-health/addiction/features/video-game...

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has revised its International Classification of Diseases, which details the names, symptoms and types of diseases, for the first time in 28 years.

The new version includes gaming disorder as one kind of disorder arising from behavioural addiction.

The new classification is scheduled to come into effect in January 2022.

The list includes a person who is unable to control how often and how much time they spend playing video games, a person who puts priority on playing video games over regular daily activities and a person who spends more than one year living a lifestyle that revolves around playing video games.

Video Game Addiction Treatment clinic in Australia Sydney

In late July, a 21-year-old online-gaming addict was found dead in his home in Inchon, South Korea. He’d played intensely since graduating from high school, rarely sleeping or leaving his room, according to family members. Two months prior to his death, he’d begun complaining of difficulty breathing but had refused to seek medical attention.

Besides the few examples above there are other extreme examples where people have died during excessive game play neglecting sleep and nutrition.

Xbox T2024k in Dexter's laboratory and it is also a possibility that Homer Simpson is co operating with you in this GRAND project with the help of funding from Aliens of Mars.

It’s a shame it’s not yet been recognised as an addiction in the uk. Hopefully they will catch on soon as cases of self neglect and social isolation arise. Im presuming any addiction that restricts a person from being able to sustain ones own basic needs would fall under mental health difficulties.

السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته

Let me tell you about 10,000 years ago. I was part of the original gaming culture that consisted of arcade machines in dedicated arcades and snooker/pool halls. We were quite addicted then. I was very young at the time and there wasn't much money around in those days. If I had 10p in my pocket I would run to the arcade and drop it into a machine. When the money ran out the only thing on my mind was finding the next 10p so I could drop it into a machine. We used to pester other youths and elders for 10p so we could drop it into a machine. Some kids would spend the money their parents gave them to buy groceries and then go home and pretend they lost the money or got robbed. As I got older and had money to spare, most if it would be spent on the machines. The addiction in those days was quite 'innocent' compared to today. The pull was based on bright lights, music, excitement of the game etc. The addiction today is much more finely tuned and manipulates on a much greater psychological level. It's not something I have looked into, but more than likely gaming companies will employ psychologists when designing a game.

100% I can confirm that online gaming is far more addictive than offline games. I don't mind games in general but online is not an option for my kids (and they understand). I advise everyone I know the same quite strongly.

Yes online is not safe for kids, but yet many of my kids friends are playing roblox. Some of their parents never used a computer in their life so perhaps they don't know whats going on.

I was going to download Minecraft to check it out but it is a paid app. I thought it was free. Is it free on PC? I have never paid for an app in my life!

I heard about Roblox recently in the usual forwards on social media and on local radio stations. They were discussing it's dangers and hidden agenda's used to infiltrate kids and it was being used as a tool by peado's

Be careful with any game really. They are designed to make the clock tick and that is the only thing we don't have, TIME!

Unfortunately we all waste time one way or the other. For people like myself, I think I feel left out for not understanding the Grandness of the Quran.

Simply look at one word from the Quran, Al-Asr.

To most of us, it just means (by the) TIME. But look at the other ways we should understand it - Sūrat al-‘Aṣr (Arabic: سورة العصر‎, "The Declining Day, Eventide, The Epoch")

A nice explanation on Wiki explaining in detail about what this time is and the dangers of wasting time. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Asr
