Abuse Result of Video Game Addiction

[Hugh Manatee]

Considering the known effects of gambling being a possible addiction, maybe they should extend THAT disorder to include more forms of "gaming". I mean even though XP and play gold in MMORPGs is abstract or pretend it's still kinda the same thing, one more win, one more level, escape into a fantasy realm where you are something better then in real life(or percieve it so) or whatever causes that compulsion, it is kinda similar.

Still, it's not the game's fault, it's the person's own mind that compels this behavior, either from some "thrill" chemical imbalance or lack of will power.

Then all of South Korea will need to go into rehab, Huge Manatee, and just imagine what will happen to them when you cut them off from starcraft!


but atrocities is right. child Porn does more damage and harm to young people and children than a handful of isolated cases of gaming addictions.

I used to live in Reno and most of the time the state stepped in on gambling addicts and was very good about catching it and working with casinos to stop child neglect. That was a few years ago, things might be different now.
