Are you addicted to playing digital games? Whether you want to (1) reclaim your life, (2) help a friend who is addicted to gaming, or (3) just understand the dangers of online gaming and how to minimize them, this book will teach you everything you need to know. Every addiction has its consequences. There are negative consequences to a gaming addiction. This book will help you fully comprehend the problems and learn how to help yourself or others break out of the addiction. Free yourself or others from unproductive behavior so life can be healthy and enjoyable again. Get some perspective on your gaming addiction. Online gaming is fun, there's no doubt about it! Gaming can help you explore your personality, enhance your creativity, and sharpen your problem-solving skills. However, if your virtual reality starts to damage your real-life interactions and health, then you have a problem. That is what this book is designed to address. I wrote "Gaming Addiction" for the purpose of guiding you through the process of evaluating your gaming activities to determine what is helping you and what aspects of your game of choice are actually messing up your life. I know, I know, gaming is your life! But is it a life that will lead to good things, or will it ultimately take you to a place you don't want to go? There is a healthy balance that can be attained. Get the best out of both "worlds." You can get what you want out of life, yes, real life. It is possible to continue to play online and still have a happy family, loving relationships, meaningful work, and delightful social experiences. The challenge is not letting the draw of the game overpower what you know you need to do and who you want to be. It's not healthy to spend all your time "checked out" from real life; some of the time it's okay to escape, but remember: while you're escaping from your life, there's nobody else out there who will live it for you. Gaming as Avoidance I get it. Sometimes life is just too harsh. We sometimes just need to get away. Yet, if you find yourself "escaping" to a virtual world to the point that you use your avatar more often than your real name, you're in trouble. For those of us who don't feel 100% confident around other people 100% of the time, it's easier to just camp out in an alternate universe. However, it's equally important to resist the temptation to spend all of your time there. While gaming can help improve social interaction (at least virtually), you need real world social interactions to truly grow and develop as a person. You also need real life social interaction to help avoid getting depressed. In this book I offer a variety ways you can take steps to interact without hiding behind an avatar. What Will You Discover About Gaming Addictions? An overview of online gaming addiction so you can better understand it. The physical and social risks associated with gaming addiction. The best treatments to break your addiction. How you can help someone who is addicted. The impact of long hours of gaming on your body and your mind. You Will Also Learn: How I kicked the addiction and you can, too. How gaming as a form of self-medication can backfire. The connection between gaming addiction and eating disorders. Practical, easy-to-follow instructions for gaining control of your gaming life. You can enjoy a truly full and enjoyable life again. Set yourself free: Buy It Now!

The rapid growth of the Korean online game industry, viewed in social, cultural, and economic contexts. In South Korea, online gaming is a cultural phenomenon. Games are broadcast on television, professional gamers are celebrities, and youth culture is often identified with online gaming. Uniquely in the online games market, Korea not only dominates the local market but has also made its mark globally. In Korea's Online Gaming Empire, Dal Yong Jin examines the rapid growth of this industry from a political economy perspective, discussing it in social, cultural, and economic terms. Korea has the largest percentage of broadband subscribers of any country in the world, and Koreans spend increasing amounts of time and money on Internet-based games. Online gaming has become a mode of socializing—a channel for human relationships. The Korean online game industry has been a pioneer in software development and eSports (electronic sports and leagues). Jin discusses the policies of the Korean government that encouraged the development of online gaming both as a cutting-edge business and as a cultural touchstone; the impact of economic globalization; the relationship between online games and Korean society; and the future of the industry. He examines the rise of Korean online games in the global marketplace, the emergence of eSport as a youth culture phenomenon, the working conditions of professional gamers, the role of game fans as consumers, how Korea's local online game industry has become global, and whether these emerging firms have challenged the West's dominance in global markets.

Trying to develop your own multiplayer online game can be overwhelming, especially as information on multiplayer specifics is very scarce. The nine-volume Development and Deployment of Multiplayer Games series is an attempt to summarize a body of knowledge that is known in the industry, but is rarely published, let alone published together. The series is highly praised by prominent representatives of the multiplayer gamedev industry. An "Early Praise" page within the book lists several testimonials by people from billion-dollar and/or AAA companies with job titles ranging from Managing Director and CTO to Backend Technical Director and Principal Software Engineer. Genres: From Social Games to MMOFPS, with Stock Exchanges In Between. Development and Deployment of Multiplayer Online Games aims to cover pretty much all the MOG genres - ranging from social games to MMORPGs and MMOFPS. While there are certainly differences between the genres, around 80% of the discussed concepts apply across the board. Level: Intermediate+. This series is not trying to teach very basics of the programming (and is not a book to copy-paste your MOG from). Rather, it is intended for those intermediate developers who want to progress into senior ones, and all the way up to CTOs and architects. In particular, there is no explanation of what event-driven programming is about, what the difference is between optimistic locking and pessimistic locking, why do you need a source control system, and so on. Instead, there will be discussions on how the concept of futures fits into event-driven programming, when the use of optimistic locking makes sense for games, and how to use source control in the presence of unmergeable files. This Volume: Vol. I Vol. I starts Part ARCH(itecture), and includes three Chapters. Chapter 1 discusses Game Design Document (GDD) - mostly concentrating on its multiplayer specifics of GDDs. Chapter 2 explores the all-important aspects of cheating - which is virtually non-existent in single-player games and games between friends, but plays an enormous role in multiplayer games; the resulting analysis leads to Authoritative Server architectures (note that discussion on implementing anti-cheating measures is much longer than it is possible to fit into Vol. I, and will take the whole Vol. VIII). The largest chapter of Vol. I, Chapter 3, is dedicated to typical multiplayer communication flows. Along the course of this discussion, it will cover lots of different topics, including such different things as Client-Side Prediction, Low-Latency Compressible State Sync, Lag Compensation and its dangers, and Inter-DB Async Transfer with Transactional Integrity
