In this chapter the researcher gather some related studies and literature about their research topic

which presented to the following paragraph.

Online game refers to games that are played over some form of computer network, most often

the internet. Online games can range from simple text-based games to games incorporating

complex graphics and virtual worlds populated by many players simultaneously. Also internet

games are games that are played online via Internet, they are distinct from video and computer

games in that they are normally platform independent. Addiction is a condition that results when

a person ingests a substance or engages in an activity that can be pleasurable but the continued

use/act of which becomes compulsive and interferes with ordinary life responsibilities, such as

study and work. (H.B Orendain,2017), these are games in which a player assumes the role of a

fictional character and interacts with other players in a virtual world. An intelligent child who is

unpopular at school can feel dominant in the game. The virtual life becomes more appealing than

real life. Too much gaming may seem relatively harmless compared with the dangers of a drug

overdose, but experts say video game addiction can ruin lives. (K.D Abbas, 2017)
