re: Video game addiction is a mental health disorder, World Health Organization says

And those of us that have managed to maintain some modicum of control over our behaviors, and manage to hold down a job and earn money to support ourselves and our families will be the ones paying for all of that. Through taxes and higher insurance premiums.

So glad their is another group that can now officially be worthless and reap the benefits.

Oh, and you've got some slacker employee who spends all his work time playing video games - you better fire his arse today or soon the government won't allow you to fire him because he's got a disability.

Now that I think about companies will probably be required to set up safe gaming spaces for their employees that suffer from this debilitating condition.

ETA: I'm on my phone so I can't, but could someone please link that FarSide cartoon of the fat kid playing video games and his parents looking on fondly and daydreaming about want ads saying "your kid saved the princess, $75K per year plus benefits". Not an exact quote but similar.
