Investigating gaming structural features associated with gaming disorder and proposing a revised taxonomical model: A scoping review.

Numerous studies found a relationship between social, narrative and identity, and reward and punishment structural characteristics with GD. Two broad classes of gaming structural features were associated with addiction. The first, 'features enhancing in-game immersion and realism,' including social gameplay, avatar creation, storytelling, and graphics/sound. The second, 'gambling-like features,' included different mechanisms of rewards-and-punishment.
