Why is it important?
Differences in addiction and personality characteristics among players of different game genres call for differentiation of interventions for prevention and treatment of Internet gaming addiction.
Perspectives
The pace of change in the game industry is faster than that in the academic world, and the game genre is no different. It was the most difficult to select a game genre in a rapid change, and today's games may have more things that cannot be put into the existing genre. Therefore, interest in and performance of game research should be continued.
