As time passes more kids get addicted to video games. The game producers keep on trying to make the games more and more addictive. It is unbelievable that one game as World of Warcraft has about 4 million users and higher who pay to play in their server, also there are just as many other people who play in the private servers. can you imagine how great it would be if all these kids who would pay to do this would go out and do something for their own pleasure outside of the house, they would benefit way more than they do from just a game. My brother is actually one of the World of Warcraft victims (addicted) and I feel very bad for him and I want to know how people can help other people get over the games and start socializing.

this is a crazy blog. I have never in my life heard of someone having a VIDEO game addiction. Playing video games are personal decisons. Is not like you are addicted to drugs or anything. This is something that someone chooses to do not being forced in anyway type of ways.

Well addicted is when a person cannot control themselves but go into extreme with something, so by playin the game for a very long time then it means they are addicted to it.

I heard of therapists or psychologists that specialize in getting kids back into the real social life by curbing their addiction to video games. I think it was in Sweden or something. My view on video games is that they only last for so long. Let them have their fun. Then when they beat the game hide the gaming console for a while.

Yes but this game for example World of warcraft it just does not end, it is unbelievable how they keep on adding stuff to that game. I am not completely against playin games because they are fun, but limit is what i think it is the keyword here, anything taken to the extreme is not good.
