Changing the practices of gaming companies can be a challenging task, especially since their revenue largely depends on players spending more time in-game. However, it’s crucial that we advocate for the implementation of policy recommendations aimed at combating gaming addiction and promoting healthier gaming habits. While gaming companies may be hesitant to adopt these changes due to financial concerns, these tools and features can create a more balanced gaming experience for all players. By encouraging responsible play and supporting the well-being of players, gaming companies can foster long-term, positive relationships with their audience and fight the negative stigma that revolves around gaming. Implementing these changes is not only beneficial for players' mental and physical health but can also contribute to the long-term sustainability of the gaming industry as a whole.
Below are the proposals and recommendations needed to make this impactful change.
