Re: Abuse Result of Video Game Addiction
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.
