they didn't say these things can't be addiction.

  Why is suddenly some fringe gamer "epidemics" treated as more important (WHO level? seriously?) than vastly more prevalent smartphone-based social addiction?

    If the WHO hasn’t started looking at social networks and the like, it’s just a matter of time. Why should there be a hault in studying the effects of games just because there hasn’t been enough studies on social networks and phones?

      Only by "shouting" about it and comparing it to a more benign addiction I can individually bring focus to that issue.

    As with anything run by a huge, unaccountable bureaucracy, some special interest group has no doubt done a more effective job of lobbying for this status. I'm sure monies will be allocated, etc, etc.
