Playing games can be a fun hobby. There are lots of benefits from playing games.
MMOs are actually virtual worlds with a complex, multi-faceted, multi-layered reward structure. They are not games in the traditional sense.
The things that make MMOs unique and fulfilling also present certain risks for some people. Some people develop very serious problems and the reasons for this are complex.
People play for lots of different reasons. We have to be thoughtful about generalizing.
If anyone is playing so much it's impairing their life functioing, the issue should be evaluated. Sometimes they need help in doing that, as it can be hard to figure out on your own.
I don't care if you call it addiction or not. I don't care what you call it. Just be self-aware. Check out the video series I put up. Check out the resources listed. Think about it.
Self-awareness, self-monitoring, and understanding how to make good choices are what it's all about.
