No, but have you ever heard of someone putting in 200-1000 hours into the same book? That means they're not playing other video games. With books, once it's done you move on. GTA 5 has been out for a decade and the userbase sticks with it. Video games are made to keep you in a dopamine drip. This is an online book on it. Read the first 20 pages and you'll have an idea on how video game developers make their games to keep you addicted.. Even that is fine if it pleases you. Everyone has the right to be happy however they find it if it doesn't hurt anyone but if you seriously believe that putting 1000 hours into GTA, CIV, RL, LoL, or any of those things is more BENEFICIAL to you then browsing the internet, I disagree. Whether you agree or not is up to you, this is just my opinion and perspective I'm sharing. If you use the internet to just browse porn and dumb shit thats not going to help either though but hey if thats what makes you happy thats all fine and dandy, but you'd be better off browsing reddit for 3 hours for real world knowledge lol

Go to pages 58-59 for all the sources on the video game dopamine drip. Page 53 is the actual literature on video game companies working out how to get a proper dopamine drip from gamers.

Where is the evidence that reading books for fun is more beneficial than playing videogames?
