Brazil is the leading game market in South America and the second leading market in Latin America. Worldwide, Brazil ranks fourth in number of gamers, with nearly 66.3 million gamers. In the last years, there has been a significant and progressive concern about the negative consequences of video gaming overuse, but no population-based study has estimated the prevalence of problematic gaming in Brazil. There is also no public policy aimed at reducing risk and harm of problematic gaming. Drawing a parallel between gaming and alcohol policies, we discuss some alternatives to address this challenging situation.
巴西是南美洲最大的游戏市场，也是拉丁美洲第二大市场。在全球范围内，巴西拥有近 6630 万游戏玩家，排名第四。在过去的几年中，人们对过度沉迷视频游戏的负面影响越来越关注，但还没有基于人口的研究来估计巴西有问题游戏的流行程度。也没有旨在降低有问题游戏风险和危害的公共政策。我们通过将游戏与酒精政策进行类比，讨论了一些解决这一具有挑战性的情况的替代方案。
