Game Addiction is Not an Addiction, says experts
As simple as that. Game Addiction as we commonly call someone playing (video/online) games as if there’s no tomorrow, is still out of the “addiction book” of the doctors. Isn’t that neat? Further showing how politicians and some members of the media are just using this topic so they have something to say, and have something to report? All that talk, just so people will think they are responsible, or maintain their reputation, without any consideration the result the gaming industry can contribute to the economy, and the positive effects of gaming.
Quoting:
“…more study is needed before excessive use of video and online games - a problem that affects about 10 percent of players - could be considered a mental illness.”
