Question from game critics: What happens to the people whose lives are ruined by video games?

The hype & hysteria around the game addiction hide the real problems within that actually damages the community within.

[[folder: Addressing the hype around this topic.]]
* 1. There is no epidemic of people dying from playing too much video games.
* 2. Gaming is not addictive, they compel people instead
* 3. Gaming compulsion can exist & still not make games evil
* 4. Gaming compulsion doesn't exist in isolation

[[folder: Game compulsion towards children]]
*Usually, media often hypes about games being harmful to children (although the compulsion aspects is true, but not the extent of how the media brings up)
*Blaming games (and television) for making children addicted to them also shines upon the lack of parental responsibility, which parents basically use them as a baby sitter.
*A solution is to get your kids to have a healthy relationship with your parents, contact with them when you are playing games, making a bonding experience to parent & children.

Gaming community could also be a major player in solving game compulsion among children, since they love games and are experienced towards games.
