Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting

I don’t know how to feel about this one. I found heroin entertaining, but it was also addictive. I used to game heavily as a teen, and it gave me intrusive thoughts about the video game, loss of interest in other activities that used to interest me, and I began making excuses to get out of responsibilities so I could play more—all the behaviors I experience with heroin addiction.
If games aren’t addictive, they sure walk like a duck and quack like a duck.
