Dopamine is very complex. But yes, gaming “hijacks” your dopamine system for sure. When I’m doing some vigorous studying and I reward myself with some gaming, I notice that when I return to my studies it seems much harder to concentrate for long periods of time and I have a harder time getting into a “flow” state. And yes, this is a byproduct of the dopamine system resets that gaming can cause.
Andrew Huberman and John Vervaeke have both made comments about this. Does this mean you should never game? No. But be aware that there are some effects that could get in the way of some of your other goals, if not done in moderation.
