While I think overuse of internet is an issue and has negative effects on the brain, especially for young people, I don't think videos games are the primary issue. I don't think of it as much different than watching movies or TV. Social media usage and surfing the internet all day is a far worse influence. It destroys memory and attention span.

The derealization and depersonalization from video games is on a whole different level. And online games especially are designed to be played ad infinitum.
