According to Viacom, the site’s corporate owner, the aptly named site allows “junkies” to “gorge themselves” and to “fuel their addiction.”
Ok sure but video games cannot create a chemical addiction and so even if there is emotional addiction involved you can't really call those users "junkies" or blame the system bc they could also easily get addicted to collected rare + obscure barbie dolls or stamps.

But hey you know pornhub really lets "junkies" "gorge themselves" and "fuel their addictions" to pornography.

not that it has anything to do with what this guy is talking about but game design teams in the post-wow/zynga world do actually spend a lot of time trying to think of ways they can get people to play games compulsively (and ideally make lots of micropayments) with minimal introduction of new content; this is why everyone knows people who aren't alcoholics or hoarders but play way too much farmville.

Newspapers encourage social-decline 'junkies' to 'gorge' themselves on mixed feelings of fear and self-righteousness.

I learned about them only after I asked my 12-year-old son what he liked to do online.

"Boneless Girl" isn't even a game, it's that little java thing of a realistic-looking girl model falling through space that someone made to demonstrate ragdoll animation. It's a bit creepy, but not in the blood/gore/evisceration sense the writer of that article is suggesting. RESEARCH FAIL.

[Kathie Lee] Gifford... dispensed the following advice to someone concerned whether it’s “OK for men to play video games in their 30s and over”.
“No, that’s weird,” Gifford says, adding “Xbox.”
