Gaming the System

Take a few moments to think about the people who see you gaming every day. Your parents, carers, friends. Whoever it might be.
Now imagine you've swapped places.
What would you say to this person? Would it be an encouragement? Reflection? A simple "okay no problem"?
So, why aren't you saying it to yourself?

In this episode of Gaming the System, James explores what life is like for the people outside of your virtual bubble. Oftentimes it's easy to think we're the only ones affected by a gaming addiction, but in reality, that isn't the case.
Your loved ones see you every day, and they're powerless to help you overcome your problem. No matter how much it hurts them...

If you haven't already I'd love for you to leave us a rating. It'll help us get the podcast in front of more people, and we can provide as much value as possible!
Until next time.
