Eight-point-five percent of 8- to 18-year-olds display signs of being addicted to video games.

Developmental psychologist Douglas Gentile was skeptical at first that there was such a thing as video-game addiction, but when he applied criteria used to diagnose pathological gamblers to a comprehensive survey of the habits of young video-game users, he found convincing parallels.

Clearly, there are also folks over 18 who are addicted to video games. Most can be identified by their dreadful lack of hygiene.
