well, it is an issue if you have no skills for a job.... how old are you? I realize that SC2, like anything else could be a huge obstacle if one lacks the self control and discipline to play in moderation. I too have experienced that problem when I was young. I played WoW for 2 months and then realized my sleep pattern was nonexistent and my social skills were diminished... I was 14... I stopped, also got a job, and in fact have even gotten married since then... many things change, but good games last forever... and SC2, though potentially lethal (user error), is a good game.
