Is gaming addiction like crack addiction?

There is this media campaign that equates the addiction to gaming as crack addiction. A WGN news segment says that it is so and provided pictures that show the facial emotions and motions of gamers that look like an addict who is high on substance.

According to this post by Fandel Mulkey in 1up.com, the WGN news segment carried out this analysis.

You decide for yourself what should the news item be called? In my opinion, even reading religious books can be equated with crack addiction or for that matter everything from movies to books to etc.

Ban the jerks!

Thanks Fandel Mulkey
