6. CONCLUSION
Video games are a form of media that is often associated with
negative health consequences. However, when games are played in
moderation and with mindfulness, they are a viable source of stress
relief as well as a catalyst for mental health improvement and
development of social skills. Video games themselves are a
relatively modern form of entertainment. They are engaging and
immersive on a level different from that of traditional board games
and other forms of entertainment. The player actively contributes
to the level of satisfaction he/she attains from this medium and
thus is more invested and willing to engage in the elements of the
video game. The amount of play time is also an important factor in
the effects of gaming. Although excessive playtime can have
negative consequence, gaming in moderation can be healthy, fun,
and educational.
