Video Game Addiction occurs when playing a video game becomes the main focus in life, and one becomes dependent on playing the game. Video Game Addiction involves abandonment of family, friends and normal activities in order to play a video game. It becomes an addiction when it has a significant negative impact in real life, i.e. doing poorly in school, losing a job, or ruining a marriage.
