The Risks of Disordered Gaming

When someone is playing at a really high caliber of a competitive game and they do well, they feel really good about themselves. And so their self-esteem is usually higher than those who play solely to escape and to explore. The next gamer type is the hardcore gamer. Now this is a mix of the two. They love to escape. They also love to achieve. They identify as a gamer and they love the immersive aspect of it. They are the most at risk for problematic or disordered gaming. It means they're more pro and potentially to overuse this activity and for it to become a problem.
