reminder that their definition of video game addiction meant you were consistently playing games instead of doing important things like going to work, eating, or seeing family/friends

They clearly said video game ADDICTION was a problem, which it is, not video games in and of themselves.

This isn't an "OOH, GOTCHA" moment. Both statements/articles are valid.

Isn't that a pretty good definition of any addiction?

FUCKING PLEASE. Do not use technicalities and semantics to rationalize whatever narrative they want to spew when convenient. I hate this kind of bullshit.

This isn't a technicallity/semantics issue in the slightest. Saying "Video game ADDICTION = bad" is an entirely separate thing from saying "video games = bad"

Yes. That's why the small bit of "gamer outrage" that occurred is dumb.

Also when articles talk about video game addiction they typically refer to MMOs, lootbox games, gambling games, and specific p2w games.
