Who plays online games?

[horton]

the World Health Organization (WHO) has already classified internet gaming as a mental health disorder. It is thought that thousands of people in the UK suffer from similar issues,

Thought would let you all know.

Some people who know more than most of us.
This obviously doesn't apply to the people who code, administer and manage the games only them that play for hours n hours n hours.

It's being torn apart by experts every day, it was highly criticised when it was announced and hasn't got any better since then.

Addiction was measured at 20 hours per week. That's less than 3 hours a day. Yet when questioned on what makes it an addiction compared to other activities and pastimes very little was presented.

Think how many people watch more soaps than that? Or reality TV etc.

Sadly this is one of those times where they are wrong and it is being used to extort more money from health insurance plans in the US.
