Playing games supposedly a kind of entertainment. I have been playing games for years just for fun, relaxation and entertainment but didn't really got addicted until I forgot to sleep, eat etc. Things had changed tremendously since gaming has become so huge in the business world. Its a billion and billion dollar industry for the games developers. Also a money making or even a career for the players. So its not surprising that many have got addicted.

Nevertheless I think somewhere, someone have to start some kind of awareness campaign so I totally agree this move to control things getting out of hand.
