Findings: family disintegration was the main reason for children’s addiction to electronic games. Thus, electronic games were like escaping from reality and living in imagination, and spending free time. Also, electronic games were a means that absorbed the negative charge and feelings of anger among the children instead of the family. There are many types of piracy on players: (programming for the mind, charging with negative thoughts, threatening to kill parents, an emotional challenge to the teenager, blackmail and intimidation, or with talismans).

Conclusion: a person can control another, to the extent that this other person allows this person to control him. Do not allow a game administrator to control you, activate Cybersecurity.
