When I was 15 my friends and I played WoW for 10-15 hours a day as well. We were kids and instead of going out and inevitably getting in trouble (my sister was drinking and partying by 14) we stayed in and hung out online.

My parents limited me to an hour a day on video games when I was a kid. Now look at me.The Canadian Pediatric Society discourages “screen-based activities” — TV, Internet, video games and gaming devices — for children under 2, and suggests a limit of one to two hours a day for older children.
Can't recommend this strategy.

Sure. You can get addicted to anything. But, the problem of internet/gaming addiction is significant enough that countries like Japan considers it a distinct disorder, and is a "condition for further study" here in the US. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...order-in-dsm-5
People don't like to talk about gaming/internet addiction but it is certainly a real thing.
Send in the mounties! We must stop video game binges!
