PAX Prime 2012 – “Just One More Game…” – Science and Controversy on Internet and Gaming Addiction


Most gamers have played a game that “hooked them,” but there is a subset of people who play games to their own detriment.  Join Dr. Tyler Black, a psychiatrist at BC Children’s Hospital, as he explores the science behind compulsive gaming, and the controversies of whether or not true addiction exists.  The latter part of this presentation will be interactive to answer the most important question: “How can we make fun, compelling, deep games that don’t suck our lives away?”

Panelists: Dr. Tyler Black [Medical Director, Website], Dr. Matthew Chow [Psychiatrist, Profile]
