games in society:

Concerns such as excess playing time

Playing on your Xbox, PlayStation or computer for extended periods of time can have an effect on a persons health and social life. Most of the time when playing that game you just got or if your battling through a dungeon on your Favorite RPG, it's way too easy to completely lose track of time and suddenly find yourself not eating and it's 2 in the morning! 
But all this gaming can damage your social life by spending all of your time on a game and next to none with your friends. It can make it harder to find and keep a job and you can lose all interest for the real world itself.

Social isolation

Playing too much on that game you love can seriously affect or even completely destroy your social life. If you are inside playing on your game then you're not out with your friends, this could mean that eventually they will leave you and when the time comes that you're bored of that game you will have nothing to do because your old friends are doing something without you. It can also effect your social skills, the ability to talk to new people confidently and make new friends, this also extends to your ability to get a job as you wont know how to talk to your would be boss because your social skills have degraded. 
There are however people, including me, who think the opposite of that, we think that it actually improves your social interaction, you can read more on that here. http://www.streetdirectory.com/travel_guide/104226/gaming/video_games_as_isolating_activities.html 

Cost

Probably the worst thing for any gamer is the money. Gaming ain't cheap, when we want that new console or that special edition of a game, it's our wallets that take the hit. An Xbox One at release was around £400, and that's just on it's own, then you've gotta buy the games, £50 at release, and that's just the standard edition. and most gamers have to buy subscriptions to Xbox live, true while PSN is free there's still a lot of money to pay, and after all this some game developers have the nerve to stick a subscription cost on a game. And it's not just the actual games that cost us either, you've got the electricity bills and internet plan to pay for.

Separation from reality

A problem with gaming is that sometimes you can be detached from reality itself
