I remember when I was much younger and got introduced to Counter-Strike I was addicted to it. The fact that I was better than my fellow players didn't help matters either and just fueled my competitive spirit further. I gave time to other important things less and less and when I did really bad in a test and my mom (thankfully!) really gave me an eye-opener I was able to control myself. I still play CSGO to this day with friends and enjoy it. But it is a lot less than what I used to.

It's not a joke people. Anything can be an addiction and really should be kept in moderation. That doesn't mean stop doing what you enjoy but do make sure your life is in good order! :D

OK, I know exactly, what do you mean.
Rather, I alluded to the fact, that after pain we have another "disease". This way, sooner or later, a broken leg will be disease as well :)

There is a line between being an avid video gaming fan and addicted to it. In my opinion, the WHO simply draws the line between them.

Exactly! Lot of sick people, but first of all those, who believe in this BS! Why?
Because if you are "sick", they can treat you =  money! :)))
