^ It's more than just about video games: rather, it's a compulsive gaming disorder.
Furthermore, it does not specify which type of games: only that the behavior is compulsive, interrupts "other life interests and activities," with continuation/escalation despite negative consequences.
And currently, it's still hotly debated in the academic/medical community as to whether this is a legitimate diagnosis.
Finally, it's also worth mentioning that there is a current hypothesis that the lack of transparency in the manner in which the WHO's addition of "gaming disorder" to the ICD-10 is itself a reflection of the WHO caving to Asian interests and political pressures. China, Japan, and other Asian countries have long expressed worry over "gaming addiction" in their youth. So, again, if we look to blame video games for the troubles of our young deviants, why are mass killers (even more specifically mass school killers) not a bigger problem in those countries?
After all (and I do have a bit of authority to speak on this, here
given that I am a first-generation Chinese/Taiwanese immigrant
), rice-cookers are certainly affordable, readily available, and quite commonly had...and so are vehicles of a certain size.........

High Power, that's very well quoted.
My feelings are along those lines as well.
As a now middle-aged person, I can recall well both the stupidity of my younger days as well as appreciate the wisdom that my parents have passed down to me.
But does this just mean that I am getting old?
