Are you really going to argue 6 that posts per day is the equivalent of a habitual excessive gaming addiction ? My time spent on this forum probably amounts to no more than 30 minutes daily since I've started and not all of them are related to gaming either ... There's no excuse to be spending more than 15 hours a week on gaming, that's just straight up a mental condition that some people are not willing to admit ... |
Why is a mere 15 hours of gaming a week a mental condition? What if I spent 15 hours a week reading novels? Is that a mental condition? What about 15 hours a week walking and playing with my dog?
Sorry, but a normal healthy workweek is 40 hours, and after exercise, chores, etc., you should have around 45 hours of freetime a week. This assumes you workout ten hours a week, and sleep 8 hours a day. It's normal and perfectly healthy to use that 45 hours of downtime doing whatever makes you happy. I'd argue that not spending at least 30 hours a week doing things you like constitutes a real mental condition. It's called workaholicism, and it's much more prevalent than videogame addiction.
Something is only an addiction if it seriously interferes with your life. If you leave stacks of dirty dishes, don't eat healthy, rarely exercise, and have no social life, then you have an addiction.
