I'm not crazy about the wording of this, as it implies that gaming itself is some sort of illness. 'Gaming addiction' was just fine to me. Still, I'm sure the worst of the game demonizing days are behind us with how mainstream and entrenched it is today. Perhaps this will amount to little, or perhaps a proper medical classification could make the effects of predatory practices more tangible and help combat them. Guess we'll see.
