Comment on WHO says video games are “digital heroin”

Comments

Hey now. The title is absolute clickbait. WHO does not say video games are "digital heroin". There is a single reference to heroin in the beginning of the article: "Watching as a video game ensnares their child, many a parent has grumbled about "digital heroin," likening the flashing images to one of the world's most addictive substances."

The article is about WHO including videogame addiction in ICD as a mental health state, and the submission title should reflect that.
