It was from this good part of playing video games that one can start to get addictive. Having nice times and fun when playing games is very good but you don't allow it to control over you.

I can perfectly relate. When I play video games, I always feel some sort of autonomy that I don't feel as much in real life. You put in efforts and you see instant results. That feeling of competence always makes me hooked anytime I play a video game, that I want to stretch into long hours playing.

Absolutely! That immediate gratification sensation is something real life doesn't consistently offer. In games, you invest effort and boom, you get a reward just immediately.
