Abstract :
There are several good and bad effects associated with online gaming. It always depends on the type of person and their backgrounds on how they act towards others. With online gaming becoming more popular, we are seeing the development of new diverse “social” behaviors. In this article, we present cases of study from identified online gamers that illustrate both positive and negative social effects.
