What about people who skip work to go to the beach? Does that mean the sun is addictive? Are movies addictive? What about watching sports? Why is it such a surprise that people would rather do something fun than something that is boring? |
one day every now and then for getting away from work is different than actually losing it from never showing up cause your playing an MMO for 2 months straight.
Actually, wasn't there a thread back when that was about that Korean guy who died from no sleep at an Internet café? All because of a game.
as with everything, there are people who excess. eating, drinking, drugs, etc. Hell, i know people that start to lose it if they can't check their My Space page every couple of hours! Thats just as bad, or worse.
