Very Interesting! 

 

The article did quote a counter-opinion:

 

Alexander Blaszczynski, a professor of clinical psychology at the University of Sydney, Australia told Futurism he is concerned about “the absence of clear diagnostic criteria determining what constitutes a gaming disorder, and the validity of applying existing addiction criteria to a behavior.” 

 

He noted that there is a range of behaviors now being identified as addictions — everything from salsa dancing, to smartphones, to in vitro fertilization. “At what point does an activity transform from an entertainment to a disorder?” he said.

There's no such thing that addiction to gaming, excessive gaming is either per choice or caused by extrinsic factors like family problems or social problems.

And beyond that, one can consider that any repeated activity becomes an addiction. So everything can be considered as addictive as far as you do it several times.
