Satan From Wreck-It-Ralph:
if you don't think gaming addiction is real you're probably an addict who's deluded themselves into believing its okay

Read what I posted, it's a direct quote from the WHO ICD.
The biggest key defining characteristic of something being a "disorder" is (and this is a snippet from that): "the behaviour pattern is of sufficient severity to result in significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning."
If you enjoy playing games, that's not a problem
If you enjoy playing games to the extent that it's interfering with your life (like you lose your job because you're always skipping to play games) then that's a problem

Even still. You can replace video games with many other hobbies and have the same result.
