Video Game Addiction – who realizes how bad this is becoming?

Question by zoroz: Video Game Addiction – who realizes how bad this is becoming?
I know quite a few people addicted to popular mmorpg’s – I mean, addicted to the point of neglecting friends, family, children, etc. Is anyone else noticing people in their lives affected by video games to the point where they never leave their house and are constantly in front of the computer screen? What are you all doing about it?

Me, but I can’t really do anything about it. I don’t have kids yet and my bf isn’t addicted to it. I have noticed it in schools and high schools, even colleges. I tried to mention it to my friend’s bf who is addicted to any PC or PS2 games, but he doesn’t listen. I don’t know what else I can do?

Yes, I know a couple people who have a serious addiction to an online game. One of the people rarely leaves her house, she doesn’t call anyone anymore, she even neglects her son. The other day her son told me that his mother only cares about the computer, it was very sad to hear. The problem is she doesn’t care, and won’t realize how much this game is hurting her life and the people who love her. It’s really a huge shame what these games do to people.
These type of mmo online games are ruining society – people don’t feel the need to socialize in real life anymore because they have “online” friends. It’s all quite ridiculous. I miss those days when you could go out with people and no one was like “oh I have to stay home and play a game because…” It’s all so sad.
