  • Following a large sample across 2 years, this study provides needed data on risk factors for becoming a pathological gamer, how long pathological gaming lasts, outcomes, and whether it is a primary problem or is a symptom of comorbid problems.

    This paper argues that the recent concerns about video game "addiction" have been based less on scientific facts and more upon hysteria.

    reading the article you shared, especially as expressed in the "general discussion" section, it's not inherent in the activity of playing computer game it self, nor simply about time management. i think it's more in the psychological side of the addict, that he/she actually choose to be addicted to game. just like anyone else can be addicted to smoking or playing golf.

    Two possible approaches: game addiction is/is not a real problem (dichotomous); or: game addiction exists on a scale from barely noticeable to debilitating. The article by Taylor and Francis below discusses a scale (7x3 indicators).
