While this parent seems to keep WoW as one of many activities, I think this is a very good point to make.

I know someone with Aspergers who is in essentially the same situation. Games helped him in some ways, but they've completely taken over his life now. If you think they're addicitive to the average person, take someone with obsessive tendencies and you have a potential receipe for disaster.
