Social isolation

Playing games can lead to a person isolating themselves from their friends. This is not as common as other things such as addiction but is still a serious concern. Games consoles are now been considered more of a social isolation tool as they are more of a one person experience. It used to be the case of inviting your friend round to your house to play the latest game on spilt screen but now it is all catching them on line to join their game rather than having them at your house.
