@psycohideo agreed gaming gives adrenaline, satisfaction and whatever else... Oft not experienced by someone with depression.

Addictive? Yes. An effective coping mechanism? Yes.

Multiplayer aspect is something to not be ignored. Geez man... One of the greatest factors to deep depression is isolation. To enable someone who could be so enclosed to empathise and relate to someone else is often groundbreaking when dealing with depressives.

@Otacon6669 Read the article Otacon.... Hacking in light of ppl screwing up the game with cheating and by stealing private details of individuals..... I want security when I play a game not run the risk of losing my hard earned cash to some bastard on the other side of the world. As for DVD rips and hacks.... geez how many man hours do you think these ppl put into their games? And how much should their wages be?
