Coping with Gaming Addiction

Posted by michael on from the first-step-is-admitting-you-have-a-problem dept.

Several readers submitted this story in the Washington Post about gaming addiction in adolescents and adults. The main sources of the story are two people who get paid for solving this problem, so they have an incentive to make it sound scary and widespread, but on the other hand, most Slashdot readers probably have a... friend... who spends too much time playing video games.

    Tell me about it! And once you find that server where the people are around your skill level and has fun maps/game options...you are doomed!

    I've managed to peel myself away for a little bit last night to play Doom 3, but I know I'll be back on that WolfET server soon!
