Addicted to World of Warcraft

“Breaking news” everyone, there are people addicted to World of Warcraft and other MMORPGs. Shocking, I know. Those of you with subscriptions to an MMORPG (especially you WoW players) could be suffereing from computer game addiction and not even be aware of it (although, most of the addicts I know happily admit to it). Orzack is a clinical pyschologist and also happens to run one of the few outpatient clinics in the US that provides specific treatment for video game addiction. Believing that over 40% of World of Warcraft players are addicted, Orzack goes on to say that there is little difference between drug use, excessive gambling and gaming addiction.
