Guess they'll have to consider office jobs as worker abuse because we already know that sitting multiple hours a day at a desk has adverse effects on health and increases risk for heart diseases, stroke, obesity, etc.

So, someone who loves to compete and progress and frequently returns to their hobby to do more of that... is experiencing a disorder.
Interesting.

I can 100% say I spent an unhealthy amount of time playing games. If they're classifying gaming addiction they need to have gaming, gambling, internet, and research all classified as well. They all scratch an itch for me that nothing else will and when I get into either of them I really get into them.
