Some people really do have issues with it. It's not even just kids, I've seen it in people over 30. Video games are addicting now more than ever now that they're so "interactive". When Nintendo came out in the 80's, you needed to invite a friend over your house to play. Now you can play games with someone on the other side of the planet. There's a website somewhere about people who have a problem with WoW.. (World Of Warcraft)..it's some kind of recovering addiction website..for a video game because those people sit there ALL day playing it.

I used to know this lady who ended up leaving her husband because he would come home from work at 4pm and gets on the computer until 1am playing war fighting games. They were in their mid 20's and had very young kids and he'd come home and yell at them, tell them to "go help mommy" "go see mommy" because they were interrupting his game. She put up with it for years and then the way he kept rejecting them because he had to "kill another guy" eventually got to her. She woudl take them to the park when he got home and then he'd be mad because she's never around..which meant not bringing him food and drinks. She tried talking to him to make him spend time as a family and his idea of that was downloading movies to watch with them.
