Does video gaming increase happiness
As in life, video gaming makes me happy when it goes well. If I beat a level, or accomplish something, then it is definitely satisfying. For me, gaming works as a nice balance to work and stressful things. For others, gaming might be an escape from misery or stark reality, in which case I'm not so sure it can do much in the way of increasing happiness.
