John and Karen - The good and bad in gaming

The Listening Project

Available for over a year

In his spare time, John enjoys gaming and is concerned that now ‘gaming addiction’ is recognised as a diagnosable condition, it could lead to the activity being stigmatised. Karen is concerned about a lack of distinction between reality and the virtual world and fears that gaming can have a detrimental impact on some players, especially the younger ones. They talk about the positives and pitfalls they see coming from gaming as a hobby.
