Here's my thing on this, addiction is addiction and yes, some people have the tendency to become addicted to video games, that's a part of what the whole loot box debate has been about, but and with that in mind, it does seem odd to classify game addiction as something different than other addictions. The tendencies of someone who is addicted to games, seems to me to be pretty similar to the tendencies of someone addicted to any kind of media, so I don't get the point in classifying it as someone different. If the argument becomes, "well it's because of loot boxes" than it's a gambling addiction so there's again not much of a reason to classify it as anything different.
