[Air-l] Video Game Addiction

[Valdis Krebs]

This week's "48 Hours" on CBS featured a story about 
video game 'addiction', especially those playing 
"EverQuest" by Sony.  One sad tale of a twentysomething 
young man who killed himself after his favorite 
character was destroyed.  His mother thinks suicide was 
due to the game.

What amazed me was that most of the people in the story 
were not teenage boys, but men in their 20s and 30s.

Any real research out there on this subject of on-line 
gaming addiction?

Thanks,
