People become addicted to drugs or gambling in the same way. "Pathological gamers" play video games for more than 24 hours a week. Most players spend twice as much time on this. Researchers are concerned that the United States may be following in South Korea's footsteps. Which boasts over a hundred video-game addiction treatment clinics.
