Hey guys, as part of my college course i have to carry out an investigation on something that i am interested about as a report. I have decided to do the report on Online Gaming about how long people play and why.
So if you could answer these questions that would be much appreciated.

How many hours a day do you play?
How many hours a week do you play?
Why do you play?
What got you into online gaming?
