Video games therefore do not influence our<strong> quality of life<\/strong> .<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This study first shows us how it happened, which helps a lot in understanding. Near<strong> 40000 players<\/strong> of<strong> over 18<\/strong> were asked about their<strong> emotions<\/strong> , during<strong> 6 weeks<\/strong> , on specific points such as the<strong> happiness<\/strong> , the<strong> anger<\/strong> , the<strong> frustration<\/strong> or the<strong> sadness<\/strong> .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They would also have helped <strong>data<\/strong> of <strong>7 different games<\/strong> whose &#8220;<strong>The Crew<\/strong><strong> 2<\/strong> &#8220;, an open-world car racing game, &#8220;<strong>Animal<\/strong><strong> Crossing<\/strong><strong> :<\/strong><strong> New<\/strong><strong> Horizons<\/strong> \u201d, a more relaxing game where the goal is to build your most beautiful island, or \u201c<strong> Apex<\/strong><strong> Legends<\/strong> \u201d the Battle Royale FPS proposed by Electronic Arts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As you will have understood, these games are totally<strong> different<\/strong> , and that&#8217;s normal. The goal is not to focus on<strong> one game<\/strong> and so<strong> only one type of game<\/strong> for studies of this magnitude. So there are all kinds of different games. According to them, it should be noted that the player should play<strong> at least 10 hours per day<\/strong> so that video games have a<strong> influence<\/strong> on his mental health and well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also taken into account in the analysis is whether the player is going to play<strong> out of desire<\/strong> Where<strong> through<\/strong><strong> simple habit<\/strong> and<strong> without real desire<\/strong> . It should be noted that this study does not go so far as to analyze<strong> How? &#8216;Or&#8217; What<\/strong> the players play, and therefore does not push the analysis down to the smallest detail. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The results are not as good as expected. According to the researchers:<em> \u201cFor good or ill, the average effects (of video games) on player well-being are likely very small, and more data is needed to determine potential
