Hello! Instead of a review, I made my own theory. Title says all. Heres the question; will COOKIE CLICKER, AN ADDICTING GAME, KILL US ALL?!
Okay, the 99% of you will probably be like "BUT DAT GAME SUKS ACE R U SERIOUS" and I am serious. Im addicted to this clicking game "Cookie Clicker". Seems innocent enough. But we gotta dig deeper into this.
Cookie Clicker is a clicking game that you click on a cookie to get cookies. You can use cookies to buy upgrades and buildings that create... MORE COOKIES. The game goes on about forever until you get N/A cookies that is basically the end of the game, but I doubt you'll get that far. Anyways, the game WANTS YOU to click FOREVER. A popular saying with this game; "Once you start Cookie Clicker, YOU CAN'T STOP." And I got caught in that trap that THE CREATOR planted. No, no, It's not just me. Its MILLIONS of people who got caught in this trap.
Once you get more addicted to this game, you start to forget your daily hobbies, and soon enough, you'll be clicking 24 hours a day.
No. It's not just Cookie Clicker, It's TONS of games. Seriously, look at Candy Crush, one of the top mobile games on the app store. It places a trap and THOUSANDS of people every day get caught inside it!
I imagine. If games get more addicting at this rate, everybody will forget about the most important things in life, such as making money, eating food, and many other things. This is REALLY bad.
Matpat did a video about addicting games. The video was called: Game Theory: Candy Crush, Designed to ADDICT. He helped me out by talking about the scientific facts about being addicted. So, theres these. Um.... *watched vid again* Okay, from my notes, theres these things called Dopamine, they trigger when you achieved something, such as beating a boss in a game, or something. :| So, when you start doing something a lot, they remove one of your Dopamine receptors or whatever. Then you need to do that thing more than usual to be as happy as before. Then they remove another one of your Dopamine receptors. And it takes EVEN MORE. Until you have only ONE Dopamine receptors, and you get addicted. If you want more information, go to this link:
