I think being addicted to gaming is better than being addicted to meth, cocaine, or heroine.

What a lame article. So a gamer played WoW for 8-10 hours a day. It didn't state whether or not the gamer was going to work, taking care of them self, or getting any sleep.

Addiction is only a problem if it interferes with your daily life. You can drink every day but if you go to work, pay your bills, and live relatively normally, it isn't a problem.
