Games Addictions
Gaming addiction has been recognised as a serious problem for many years. It is noted as being particularly addictive when it concerns Massive Multiplayer Online Games, where many addicts retreat in to an online universe to the exclusion of all else. In particularly serious cases gaming addiction has led to the break up of marriages and families, the loss of jobs and in some cases even suicide.
