Why video games destroy entrepreneurial motivation

New insight into the neuroscience of gaming indicates that too much of it is a seriously bad thing for entrepreneurial minds.

Video games can drain the motivation and willpower that drives entrepreneurs to make big things happen in life and business.

Quote
Entrepreneurs — whose career paths are typically ambiguous and fractal — are attracted to the linear progression of such games precisely because it’s something missing in their lives.

Quote
Entrepreneurs who let off steam by playing highly autonomous games like Grand Theft Auto V or Minecraft will be less likely to experience post-play emotional slumps. Focusing more on competency — which typically revolves around quick wins and beating opponents in multiplayer scenarios — is also much healthier. Leveling up or “unlocking” focused games are the ones to avoid

i play dota and this is bullshit. real life is a tepid slog compared to the bi-polar recurring fantasy/nightmare that is dota.

Well see DOTA has leveling in every round, so it's even one step below grinding in an MMO, because there you keep your progress.
