I've just been informed by an offended commenter that, in some parts of the world, it isn't actually summer right now, but rather winter.

Um, okay, lets draw a basic comparison. Smoking: addiction. Sociopath: psychiatric disorder. Is smoking a Psychiatric Disorder? NO!
No, Video Games ARE not an addiction, but they can be a psychiatric disorder, in the sense that you can get hyper focused and your brain will rewire itself to derive pleasure from achieving things in video games. And saying "I play for hours but know when to stop" is a legitimate defense. I love video games, I also love chocolate. Yes, I binge, but I also rock climb, bike, kayak, drive, and do manual labor, for fun. So when I decide to kick back and spend a weekend doing nothing but gaming, its equivalent to telling me I have a psychiatric disorder for camping for a weekend. However, if I quit my job to go camp because I hated the working life, that's another thing (and yet still somewhat more justifiable than a "gaming addiction").
