Actually, people who are prone to addictions often substitute a new addiction for an old addiction. I wonder how this video game detox clinic handles this issue? Drugs are probably just down the street, right?

Unbelievable...these people don't need "detox", they need to be DEPROGRAMMED!!!!!! I just want to take anybody who only cares about sports or video games and just smack them silly!!! These are just mindless diversion tactics designed to take our minds off of what's really going on in the world. They're not as bad as Hollywood for that, mind you, but almost.
I like the irony that it's in the Netherlands...video games are bad but endless sex and drugs are okay...wtf?!
