Quote from GamesIndustry.biz I never though games would be this much addicting for some, I mean it's like comparing them to drugs Source: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=9957 |

Yeah that's pretty sad. I once saw a documentary in school, it was about Chinese people who locked themselves up. We saw some of them and they were playing FFXI. :l |

They're just brainwashing the kids. But seriously, that's freaky. I've thought about such a thing happening with a super-realistic virtual reality game, but not with PS2 games. |

Pah! I think that they are over-exaggerating a bit. Is all that stuff necessary to treat an 'addiction' to gaming? | |||

An addiction to video gaming... so says the country which actively promotes smoking. But yeah... I think they might be overreacting a teensy bit. 25,000 addicted, sure... 2,500,000... not a chance. Depends how they "classify" addiction though. |

I'd classify this as addiction. Yeah, it's Korea, not China. But still. |

Ehm... even if I left an baby for a hour I would at least get someone to watch over him/her. Just not leave him/her like that. ...maybe China don't care about the health issues, it probably gives them tax money and is a way to regulate population numbers. |

Hell, there's people playing so much that they let their baby die to play more. | |||

I am strangely reminded of Reg Barclay, from Star Trek. He had a Holo-addiction. | |||

this is going to sound like crap, but its true. A friend of a friend (either my roommate or my former roommate) dropped out of college to play FFXI | |||

How did the baby suffocate just from being left alone for a few hours though? Starve, maybe, but suffocate? | |||
