Ok, same issue today. A swedish court decided to institutionalize a young man because of his addiction to WoW. The article is in swedish but it is mostly full of the same shite as the rest of them.

The most interesting thing is the actuall reasoning the court used in the verdict.
It goes:

"Han har isolerat sig från omvärlden och skaffat en icke acceptabel dygnsrytm"

That means:

He has isolated himself from the world and achieved a non acceptable days-rythm

NON-FUCKING-ACCEPTABLE.

People... What about a bartender? He sure does meet alot of people but they arent really smarter than a NPC in WoW while drinking and his hours are by all means non-acceptable.

A court of law in sweden did in some extend sentence you to addiction if you are not awake during office hours.

Congratufuckinglations.


I rest my case.

It look like being addicted to a game is beginning to be a mental disease. It is not, if he is still living in his parents' home, then it's their parents fault too. Just cut internet and we'll see if everything goes well too. If he is much older than that, then he is desperate, he should just get a life.
I've seen something similar in newspaper from USA. There is some center that offer cure for addiction to games. I don't know, but these peeps just look weak to not be able to get out of this by themselves ...

I agree, I feel that these persons that get "addicted" to games would have gotten "addicted" to anything they got their hands on really. Wouldn't matter if it was games, D&D, crack or Star Trek.

Imo it's the parents fault. I fully agree with just cutting his internet off.
