Gaming is not the course it is the tool . Same addiction is seen with many things , social media , some sports , popstar fandom , just name it .
The problem lies deeper .
I had a lot of profit in live from my game skills , reaction time saved me many times in real live , as a gamer you train that . I became Laser programmer/opperator cause gaming on pc learned me a lot . ( try to run Black ops 2 on a Atlon II and still be someone online ) .
A negative point of view will not make you see the bright sides .

Blaming gaming is to easy , look deeper .
