As more people are cooped up in their home and gaming nonstop, the average time per gaming session has increased tremendously. This has undoubtedly led to arguments that many people are spending too much time playing games and neglecting their Jobs, loved ones, and personal health. Even though the World Health Organization has actually recommended people stay home and play video games to help deal with the stress of the pandemic, the balance between longer gaming sessions and other tasks has skewed dramatically towards gaming causing problems for many.
To tackle this issue, a Canadian online casino website, OnlineGambling.ca, is selling a spray called “Anti-Gaming Spray” for $5.99, with the intent of keeping people away from their game consoles, PCs, and Mobiles.
The spray is designed to make the gaming equipment smell so bad that any obsessive gamer won’t be able to stay and play. The product is made from Durian fruit essence, patchouli essential oil, kala namak, garlic essential oil, and vinegar. The combination of the above elements makes the spray smell potent and utterly vile making it impossible for anyone with sense of smell to resist and forcing them to move.
Although the spray is presented as a possible solution to game addiction, some people who actually suffer from it may need far more serious intervention. In fact, according to some studies, there are people who have suffered so badly from game addiction that they had to go to rehabilitation centers. The addiction to Fortnite is so bad that even Prince Harry suggested banning addictive games and social media.
At the same time, this product can simply be a prank as since its launch it’s out-of-stock or the company only produced limited quantity and it sold out instantly. Only time will tell if it’s real or fake, so take this news with a grain of salt.
