Joe Rogan had to quit video games over health concerns YouTube: Joe Rogan[jwplayer Gd3gIdIX]Joe Rogan has explained why he had to quit playing video games after concerns over his \u201cterrible\u201d health \u2013 even describing it as an addiction. Joe Rogan is one of the most popular men on the internet, with a podcast that recently fetched a rumored $100m after Spotify bought it out in May. Clearly, though, he is still just a regular man, as revealed when he explained the terrible effects video games have had on his health due to him becoming addicted to them. While in conversation with famous actor and comedian Hannibal Buress, the two started to discuss video games, thoroughly impressed by the PS5 Unreal Engine demo trailer that was revealed ahead of this year\u2019s PlayStation 5 release. Buress then admitted that during the ongoing health crisis, he \u201cdove heavy\u201d into video games, playing NBA 2K \u201cup to 12 hours a day\u201d for escapism. Rogan then revealed that he can no longer use the LAN room beside the studio, saying it\u2019s like a bar and he\u2019s \u201clike an alcoholic.\u201d \u201cWe were playing hours every day, to the point where Jamie was telling me I had a problem,\u201d Rogan said. \u201cWe would get done with the podcast, I couldn\u2019t wait to go play\u2026 But when I would leave, my hands would be sweaty, I would feel nervous, I was physically feeling bad.\u201d Timestamp: 57:01 Joe went on to say that it was affecting his sleep and \u201cputting his body through all this crazy stress\u201d and, based on the fact that he avoids gaming now, probably decided that enough was enough. Obviously, video games affect different people in different ways, but Joe describing his relationship with Quake Champions as \u201clike an addiction\u201d and as \u201cterrible\u201d for his health shows that it\u2019s not always as simple as getting online and having fun with your friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
