Is video game addiction a real problem?

Yes

Side Score: 1
VS.

No

Side Score: 1

It depends on what you mean by "real problem."

If you mean does video game addiction actually exist, yes, it does. It is real. So it tic-tac addiction and reading addiction and CD addiction.

If you're asking if it's a real problem like is it a large enough problem or epidemic to actually merit concern, no, not as a concept. Maybe certain, rare individuals let their lives be driven to shit by video game addiction, but no more than people who do the same cooped up reading books. I think, like texting, it just gets a bit more media attention than, say, chronic tic-tac addicts because it's new.

Side: Yes

For a handful of people, yes. It's possible to become addicted to games, just like it's possible to become addicted to reading, singing, or running. But for the vast majority of people, it doesn't become a problem.

Side: No
