Gaming Addiction


Recommended Posts

Is gaming addiction real or a myth? Can people become addicted to gaming?

(gaming as in ps3, xbox, world of warcraft, etc)

 

I am a third year journalism student at the university of Sheffield and I am thinking about producing a radio feature on the addictive side of gaming.

 

I would like to know if anyone has ever experienced gaming addiction and how it affected their life, or someone who knows someone who was/is addicted to gaming.

 

Or perhaps there is no such thing as a gaming addiction.
