Online games do not sound foreign today, from young to old people from various different backgrounds. Because the development of online games is increasing rapidly, playing games now is not just a hobby, some people have made it a job to earn their income from playing these games. Playing games is indeed very fun to make us free from stress, but playing too much can also make us stressed too because games are very competitive or games are not easy to solve.

Playing games also have positive and negative impacts that can be felt by the player. To avoid these impacts, playing games is only natural. And what are the positive and negative impacts of playing the game? Here is the explanation.

Positive impact

It will start from the positive impact in playing the game, namely:

1. Add friendship
   Because playing online games, we can meet anyone from outside, both domestically and abroad.
2. Improve foreign language skills
   From point number 1 we already understand, because we meet players from different countries we can learn from each other in their respective languages.
3. Create a faster mindset
   Because when we play there will be an unexpected strategy while playing, therefore our brain will think faster for it.
4. Reduce stress
   Because we play to find pleasure for ourselves.
5. Practice patience
   The game also has a level of difficulty in it and that level trains our patience, can we solve the challenge calmly?
6. Train agility
   The function of this dexterity trains foresight in our eyes when playing.

Negative impact

From the positive impacts above, there are negative impacts that must also be considered, namely:

1. Addicted
   If you are too interested and play excessively, it is very detrimental, and will forget all the responsibilities that must be done. The most extreme thing is where a person is lazy to do small things, such as eating. Because it's addicted to playing games.
2. Lack of sleep
   This primary need is often forgotten because it is too cool to play when you feel sleepy.
3. Financial loss
   Some online games require a good device to play the game and because of that, we have to spend capital to buy a better device. Not only that in the game, but there must also be something called dressing up the character or improving our avatar in the game, and it requires millions of dollars for that.
4. Radiation to the eye
   It's very clear what's going on, looking at too much on the monitor screen or on our own cellphones is the amount of radiation that enters our eyes, the impact of which drains our eye health.
