      The WHO's decision to officially designate gaming as addictive is prejudicial, and media coverage of it is even worse. This NYT article only points to people dwelling in basements and contemplating suicide: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/17/business/video-game-addiction.html … but doesn't point to it as a nuanced issue, cont.

      i.e. that gaming can be a legit hobby or legitimately educational/recreational/social. Sure, they can be destructively addictive in the same sense that very fun or very lucrative things can be destructively addictive. It feels unfair that gaming is the only cont.

      similar activity that is put in the same category as alcoholism and drug addiction, except for MAYBE gambling. Why does no one point at a workaholic and say that they have a "working disorder?" People addicted to work have probably ruined e.g. family relationships at a cont.

      much higher rate than gamers have. They are probably just as compulsively addicted to work as people with gaming disorder are to gaming. Why isn't that studied? Why is being a "workaholic" generally viewed as a positive thing, or at worst a neutral personality trait?

      You pretty much summed up my thoughts. Workaholics, Netflix binge watching... generically saying "addiction is bad". I do agree that gaming falls under that same bubble, but cherry picking gaming to be a disorder feels selective and blackboxes the issue by saying games are bad.

      Agreed. And I mean, for people who do think that people who feel as though they can't quit those things despite efforts to, or who feel like those things are impairing other parts of their life, they should be able to seek treatment without being laughed at

          And I can see the argument that labeling this as a disorder helps institutionalize and normalize treatment for it. But going about it in this manner (the cherrypicking, the one-sided coverage) is a major disservice to everyone involved

          oops, ignore "for people who do think that" in that. Should read, "And I mean, for people who feel as though..."
