And I was wondering. The video stopped in the middle for me, and when I was reloading it was only 2 minutes long! So that's what happens when a video is being removed while you watch it..

this is the worst immitation of journalism i've ever seen. Shame on you CNN. I work at a woodshop. I guess I'm addicted to wood then since it's what I do for a living. Fucking nonsense

I don't think Tasteless' argument that RTS gamers are inherently less prone to addiction that MMO gamers holds water. There can be addicts in both genres. I think that's the case even if you're playing SC2 purely to improve your play and be competitive. There's nothing about competition and addiction that's mutually exclusive. If you feel like you need to play the game, and you feel actual emotions such as anxiety when you're away from the game for a certain amount of time, you're addicted. Factors like that have nothing to do with the genre of game you're playing.



I agree, but at the same time I think one of the major stigmas against gaming is that people spend all day playing for no return in the real world. Tasteless' argument may not hold water from a scientific analysis of addiction, but there's a difference between MKP and a random WoW player, even if both were addicted. One has the potential to turn their drive/addiction into something of greater value, and the other is a WoW player, which I think is point Tasteless tries to get across.

I disagree with your approach to the argument. I think what separates MKP from the random WoW player (in the hypothetical scenario you presented where they are both addicted to their respective games), MKP isn't hurting himself. He has a team that supports him, a healthy lifestyle, and is putting the game in a context of improving his play to satisfy his passion. The random WoW player isn't keeping up with his own personal hygiene most likely (if they truly are addicted), they typically have lack of a support system, and are unmotivated in self fulfilment, only motivated by their vicarious life they lead through their game and that game's needs.

I think if competitive RTS players are addicted to anything, it is winning, not Starcraft.
