I've always felt there was such thing as game addiction. Never impacted me personally (at least I don't think so). But seeing someone first hand drop basically all important factors to play an MMO was past just "binging".

This is so stupid. Is there a TV disorder?
People binge shows all the time.
Important if it helps people get appropriate treatment, but I'm already dreading this being weaponized by morning programs and tabloids.

I have a friend who is addicted to jumping out of airplanes. He has over 2000 jumps and spent a fortune on it. Maybe he has an airplane jumping disease.
Do they spend the majority of their waking time jumping out of planes? Do they struggle to perform regular daily tasks due to going plane jumping?
This is a silly comparison.
TV addiction is a thing and still being researched too. I imagine anyone that suffers from that has it worse off in this era of streamable media where everything is a click away and seasons all available at once. And shows being made to watch in quick succession rather than weekly.This is so stupid. Is there a TV disorder?

Uhh... no it won't.I'm frankly afraid. Already, some countries are trying to kill the game industry under the pretext of this.

I don't get this. If anything, WHO has suggested the clear definition of gaming dependance, so surely this would silence such naysayers?That's what I'd like to think.
However, some Asian countries have different situations.
The society does not understand the stress of solving games because students are pushed to study.
Already, there are a lot of parents who claim to be game addicts just one or two hours a day. That's what the government and the media are arguing about.
A disease, lol... no, it's just one of the best escapes from the shitty world we live in which is rife with actual diseases and suffering.
Games never needed loot box to be addictive.
