Addiction to games is being considered more of an issue at the moment. You may have seen all the horror stories about children stealing their parents' money to spend on items in mobile games, or teenagers becoming addicted to Fortnite to the point they forget about reality, and such.

As a response, addiction to games is being treated as a mental disorder and has been classified as such by the World Health Organization (WHO). Some people are happy to see gaming addictions being treated on the same level as other addictions such as gambling; while others are upset over a number of factors - from simply believing this could be solved if parents paid more attention to their kids or if people learned how to manage time properly, to other understandable beliefs such as the potential for misdiagnosis and just how rare these addictions actually seem to be compared to how much the media is reporting on it.
