If you go though this list, the World of Warcraft is a prime example of each item. You also mentioned Diablo II. That said, Blizzard Entertainment is the king of video game addiction. They've built an empire out of it.
Didn't I read somewhere that gaming companies now hire psychologists? Was that you who told me that, aberkok?
Anyway, I've quit WoW. And my gaming is now at a minimum. The drug is no longer in my system. The addiciton is curbed.
For now.
But, yeah, all of this is pretty scary.
