I think a video game buying detox clinic could be far more useful for the denizens of DP.

I saw this on the news today, they claim 20 kids have been "cured" and the worst side effects have been jittering and complusive shaking LOL
When did games become heroine like substance, because I'm seriously gettin my stash from the wrong dealer...

This should be for asia. How reports of people dying in cafe's in that part of the world from playing too hours at a time on a game?
Too many. Anyone who plays in a cafe 20 to 70 hours at time without taking a break needs help. I don't want these death stories from studity with online gaming getting coverage.

I don't think its the videogames that are problems for these people. I think they have problems to begin with before videogames were even introduced in thier lives.

Indeed, gaming isn't an addiction. I suppose it can be an obsession and you can play compulsively...but it simply isn't an addiction. Damn people making a mockery of the language...
