 A new report from The Australian has indicated that a new Dutch clinic founded to assist those individuals suffering from video game addiction has been “overwhelmedâ€? with requests for help. “It’s amazing, I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Keith Bakker, the American director of the Smith & Jones clinic in Amsterdam. “The phone has been ringing constantly. Computer game addiction is obviously an even greater problem than we imagined.” The report noted that the issue of video game addiction is seen as a serious problem in South Korea and China, where game players have died from exhaustion after exceedingly long gaming marathons.
