Video games are obviously addictive. The way you make money off of games is to make them addictive. There is a direct feedback loop between more addictive games and more profits and so the addictiveness of games can be research, refined, and optimized over time.

The WHO is way behind the curve here.

If society treated video games the same as alcohol and drugs they would already be banned for minors. Eventually they probably will be.
