this is exactly the reason why i never touched games like wow. i know that i could get addicted to it so i simply won't touch them.

i will play something like destiny which will take already too much time but i would never touch wow, everquest or whatever.

I don't think the BBC particularly looks at America for their news, somehow.

But yeah, their tech section is poor, to be kind.

That's Super Mario Kart as well. Was multiplayer even in that one? lol. But most of our media hasn't got the slightest clue when it comes to technology. Most journalists are too old.

parents should keep their kid under control, not the game firms.
And if you an adult, grow the fk up and control yourself.

Why would you write an article about something you don't know that much about?  Everyone knows meth is terrible for you and you shouldn't do it, that doesn't mean we should all write articles about.  We don't have any new information about meth or other substances that people don't already know about. 

What would your headline be, "Meth Still as Addictive as it was Yesterday"?

Having a picture like this SNES Mario Kart discrets the article, because it implies that Mario Kart is an addicitve, harmful online game when it is in fact, demonstrably not.

This is like an American cable news channel showing a picture of a large protest in Iran while talking about a speech by Iran's president, even though the picture being showed isn't actually from the time the speech was given, thus implying Iranians were protesting the speech when it fact, the opposite was true.

I was addicted to games. Then I played Gears of War Judgement. Haven't been in much of a gaming mood, since.

Don't they mean gaming compulsion?
