Gaming addiction poses 'pandemic' threat takes the concept of "game addiction" further (perhaps entirely over a pen of sharks) by quoting a Swedish "expert" that adds the communicable disease analogy, saying this may be a "pandemic" (he is actually more tempered, saying "I believe we’re dealing with a problem of pandemic proportions"). This is not based on research, however, as it is attributed to Sven Rollenhagen of the Youth Care Foundation (Stiftelsen Ungdomsvård), an organization has been helping young people in Sweden "recognize and manage computer gaming addiction" for two decades, meaning at one point they were helping break addictions to games like Golden Axe, 688 Attack Sub, and SimCity. A Game Over Website is online to help stem the pandemic, which is available in English, German, and French. Thanks Digg via Ant.
