From yesterday onwards, addiction to video games is now a recognised illness. It has been recognised as an illness in Japan for some years now. There have even been Japanese parents who's infant passed away because they were so busy playing video games.

Link please.
I don't see it as a totally separate illness but another aspect of addiction.
One can get into a compulsive mental state about anything that hits the brain's reward centre. I'm unsure game playing needs a special category. Just sling the video game away and experience the real world.
Not that easy, O_G, if it's an addiction.
