The endgame of online gaming
Online games are the new phenomenon and a lot of businesses have been arising especially in Asia because of this. In the Philippines, the gaming industry has peaked to the billions of dollars with only less that five years in the making.

But what really is the end of online gaming? I found this blog and decided to share with you the deep thoughts of an (ex)player immersed in World of Warcraft.

There are three problems that arise from WoW: the time it requires to do anything "important" is astounding, it gives people a false sense of accomplishment, and when you're a leader, and get wrapped up in it, no matter how much you care or want people to care, you're doing the wrong thing.

I guess it is the same as the gambling or porn industry. How much are we really exploiting from these people who want and want and want? Of course, industries like these promote "responsible _________" (insert product or activity here) or they usually go by the age restriction with the assumption that one is responsible enough at the age of 18.

On record, I was also a World of Warcraft player for about a year, but only having played a total of 30 real time days (wow, that is still a lot). I left almost a year ago because work was suffering, so was my social life, and the opportunity cost was just too great.

Are your peers and officemates involved in responsible online gaming? Your thoughts?
