Tetris is only one example of a popular online game that can be very addictive. Game addiction is a growing problem worldwide. Addiction clinics have even been setup in some countries. Some online games also access your social media profile and other data. This data may be stored by the game provider. It has been alleged that in some games you may actually be competing against automated ‘Bots’ and not against real people as you might have assumed. Many games demand payment from you if you want to continue playing once you have become hooked.
