Hobbies & Games > Hobbies & Games (Other) Is gaming addiction a problem?

13 of 61

A gaming addiction is an ephemeral thing that is difficult to quantify or even admit to. It isn't a physical addiction. The only word to use for a gaming addiction is psychosomatic, yet that implies choice, and there is no choice involved. By the time you are so deep into a game it has become an addiction, you have eroded yo... More..

1 of 1

There is one point I must make before beginning this article, and it is the most important one of all.
