[QUOTE="cots, post: 8652992, member: 358746"] Probably because it's becoming a major problem. I mean, you can get addicted to anything, but when you have a lot of people becoming addicted to the same thing you'd start to address the problem by labeling it as a mental disorder so you can try to "fix" the problem. Although, I don't think spending thousands of dollars on medication that the doctors admit they have no idea how it actually works and feeding it to your children or having them sit in a room with some moron who thinks they know it all, which will costs you hundreds per hour, to "talk" to your children is any sort of solution. How about, you don't allow your child to sit in front of a video game for 8 hours a day? [MERGED]auto[/MERGED] They aren't because a lot of people are experiencing negative life consequences due to the same common issue. I mean, they don't single our heroin "just because" - when you have a lot of people suffering due to a single issue you usually single out that issue. If it weren't happening in such a large number of cases then there might be some bias going on if they were singling it out. Say for example, 1% of women who have abortions do so because of incest or rape, while the other 99% do so "just because". When you use the 1% of people as an example you're being pretty bias. In this instance, there are a lot more than 1% of the general video gaming users becoming addicted and it is ruining their way of life. [/QUOTE]
