However, there has been research done where action role-playing games can increase concentration span, give the ability to multitask and learn. Another genre of games offers players the ability to strategize, plan, etc. The point I am referring to is that gaming can only be a problem if it interrupts our daily lifestyle. However, if it overlaps with important lifestyles such as work and relationships, it can become a problem.
