You raise a good point Sueblimely. As Sheryl Crow says, “Good is good and bad is bad.”

If it is the body’s reaction to some external influence that creates the chemical reaction that cries out for more, why should it make a difference whether the outside influence is alcohol, drugs, gambling or video games….?

Wait Baron, so is the thinking here that once your family are gamers, you won’t get a chance to steal the systems from them, or that they’ll ruin all your fun by wanting to play the same horrible games over and over again? (#)\:1

Here’s the solution for anyone with a gaming addiction: turn your whole family into gamers.

It works. I did it to mine haha.

I hear ya Apex. So that of course begs the question : Does an addiction need to be “chemical” for it to be “on the real”?

I saw this too. I generally agree with you, that there are valid points as to why video game addiction should be considered just like any other addiction.

However, I think on the flip side there is a big difference. Video games is not a chemical addiction. Sure the thrill of winning may cause your brain to create some chemicals, but that is still not akin to alcohol.
