Psychologist warns Russians about the dangers of playing Hamster Kombat
A psychologist has issued a warning to fans of the game Hamster Kombat.
An app where you have to tap on a cartoon hamster to earn in-game currency is actually quite dangerous.
According to medical psychologist Ksenia Dementieva, this hobby is fraught with the narrowing of a person’s range of interests and reduces his or her ability to work.
The game is especially dangerous for teenagers over 12 years old, whose psyche is not yet so stable, and therefore reacts to the application with mood swings.
At the first stages, it is difficult to notice a noticeable impact, RIA Novosti quotes the expert as saying.
If at first a person rejoices in the successes in the game, which are caused by simple actions that need to be performed in it, then over time an addiction to this intoxicating feeling will develop.
The person begins to constantly think about the game and enters it more and more often to distract himself from problems in real life.
And for children this is the most dangerous, since Hamster Kombat can ultimately replace hobbies, walks and even communication with friends.
