Gaming disorder is now real

Because WHO voted to make it real: https://www.cnet.com/news/world-health-organization-deems-gaming-disorder-an-official-illness/

tl,dr; if your gaming makes you forget about real world obligations, you're basically sick and have a gaming disorder and need to pay $$$ for a private clinic somewhere. Watch out kids, your soccer mom is running through the doors to kick Nintendo through the window. Remind her to throw her own tablet with PvZ too ;)

Gaming industry in South Korea apparently mad about this. Others yet to react.

Makes sense. Gambling addiction has been a real thing too, so why not gaming? As long as it gives you dopamine, it can be addictive. Personally I don't think I can get (extremely) addicted to gaming that it would effect my life drastically but I certainly need my computer.

80s: Music is evil.
90s: Movies are evil. Music is art.
00s: Vidyagames are evil. Movies are art.
10s: Vidyagames are officially evil. Take that movies and music, you only wish you'd be vidyagames!

Great, another reason for people to pass the blame for lack of personal responsibility onto something else.
There go more of my tax dollars.
