It's no different than using reading incorrectly and getting them addicted to that. Anything can become an addiction, gaming isn't any more or less prone to becoming addictive than shopping, playing outside, reading or eating. Many drugs are inherently addiction forming, taking them will cause an abnormal chemical response in the brain that forms an addiction, that's what the term addictive should mean when describing something. Gaming does not create an abnormal response in the brain. But again, the point the author makes, and he tries to be nice about it, is that it's not Minecraft or any other games fault, it's parents using it incorrectly. Poor parenting can create bad habits, which yes can eventually become addictions. But that doesn't make the focus of the addiction the culprit, that makes the parents the culprit.
