It's not about the amount of time spent doing a particular activity, it's about how the activity becomes a priority for you that supercedes critical needs such as physical and mental health, financial stability, social and family interactions, etc.
If you're sacrificing those things to play video games, and you can't change/stop, that really does sound like an addiction.

There’s a head in need of a tin foil hat.
Oh wait. You’re actually correct. Strange times we live in. Sadly that’s exactly what happens these days. And lots of “camps” and “counseling”. The kids are all right.
I’m told it was way worse when the radio and then TV came out. Boob tube was ruining lives.

That's when the search for the next great thrill occurs. You go jumping from one game to the next until you find one that hits that dopamine just right and start treading along like a lab rat.

It's not tin foil hatery, it's everywhere, even in the MSM article I've browsed today. Basicaly it's a move to sell shitty pills to "cure" depression and compulsive behaviour. A bunch of concerned mothers are going to fuck up their kid and get them actually addict to shitty (and dangerous) drugs for no reason.

I mean....
"Heroin dependency occurs when people continue to use the drug despite the negative repercussions it has on their lives. Physical dependence involves the need for more and more dosages every time. When drug use is discontinued instantly, patients experience withdrawal symptoms. Psychological dependence is shown when satisfying the need becomes the main motivating force in the patient’s life. The effect of heroin on the body depends on the individual person taking it, and the occurrence of addiction is not predictable. Interestingly, our bodies are very adaptable to changes and adjust themselves naturally after continued heroin use. As a result, our bodies will demand greater dosages to satisfy the same feeling of a high we get when using heroin. This is where tolerance comes into the picture. When a user eventually tries to do away with the drug, painful withdrawal symptoms ensue. You may fill out and submit a contact form for further information about dependency and tolerance factors associated with heroin abuse. "
