Computer games stopped being "just games" the moment they went online and people started to interact with each others.

Sure, this sort of things could happen in single player too. Hell, I should know. I've had some Baldur's Gate marathons before. But I think it's not as bad when you don't have social pressure or a need to succeed in front of your friends.

The problem is that a human being can get addicted/obsessed to anything. Eating chocolate, cleaning, showering, hanging around with friends, gaming, eating, singing, looking below your bed each night, triple-checking that everything is ok before leaving the house...you name it. I don't think there is an easy solution. If you or the people around you don't acknowledge the problem, it's probably quite hard to stop.


There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.
