Are you a compulsive gamer?Posted by Craig in interesting, gaming, addicted |

Well great news! Recently an article published on the BBC dismissed that compulsive gamers are addicted.
"Ninety per cent of the young people who seek treatment for compulsive computer gaming are not addicted."
99%! If you enjoy playing a lot of gamer, for a lot of time. Don't worry, you're not addicted.
"This gaming problem is a result of the society we live in today," Mr Bakker told BBC News. "Eighty per cent of the young people we see have been bullied at school and feel isolated. Many of the symptoms they have can be solved by going back to good old fashioned communication."
I very much agree with this quoted section, I believe compulsive gamign is very much a social issue. The false sence of reality people get from games in my opinion is a good way to help them through lives, but should not be used to subsitute life completely.
