The article they linked is really funny, it starts as a "gaming addiction is bad mmk" piece that says hey maybe spending 12+ hours a day playing videogames isn't healthy, then goes on to talk about how gamers don't enable windows security on their systems???
Then you look at the URL and oh hey it's a cyber security website that has nothing to do with videogames or addiction, nice.
RepentantSky hit it on the head, Videogame addiction's a real problem in the vein of Alcoholism and Gambling issues, but it's sort of strange that the WHO is very specifically adding this to the ICD. Especially when literally every other result for addiction on the current ICD turns up Drugs and one thing of Hypnotism.
