I would upvote your comment multiple times if I could - compassion is something that I see expressed all too rarely online. I remember reading an interview with a psychologist who worked at a clinic dealing with videogames addiction in the FT Weekend magazine many years ago. He said almost all addiction is rooted in trying to escape pain or suffering. For a lot of the patients addicted to videogames it was an escape from loneliness and other problems.
