These peope belong in jail - and in therapy. When I hear stuff like this, I feel ashamed of being human.Games do have the potential to become addictive. You'll have a craving, will neglect other things, important things even, there will be withdrawal symptoms, it's all there.It doesn't have the same potential as LSD or drugs like that, probably not even as strong as alcohol, and most people who play games will never become addicted, but it does happen.I say panicking and outright outlawing games is not the solution to this (you'd have to make alcohol illegal first, and cigarettes, too), but the problem needs to be more widely recognised, and if you know that someone's playing games, you should be on the lookout for signs of addiction.</blockquote>
