Why people play massively multiplayer online games?

The current study investigated whether the problematic use of massively multiplayer online games (MMO) was associated with a particular attachment style. Moreover, we explored the possible motivations underlying MMO gaming, and the interdependence between motivations and attachment styles. The results showed that gamers with anxious and avoidant attachment styles suffered from problems associated with MMO gaming more than gamers with a secure attachment style. Also, we found that all gamers played to immerse themselves into a fantastic word regardless of their attachment style.
