KEY POINTS
The WHO defines gaming disorder “as characterised by impaired control over gaming, increasing priority given to gaming over other activities, and the continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences.
Impacts
· The World Health Organisation’s (WHO’s) latest International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11).
· The ICD-11 lists “Gaming Disorder” as a modern disease with clinical symptoms.
· It will also have negative repercussions for the consumer electronics industry, which depends on gamers for the sale of high-end consoles, specialised PCs and high-performance tablets, and mobiles.
· Indeed, there are academic studies that indicate that gaming can be a healthy and stimulating activity with educational value and the WHO says that the vast majority of gamers are not suffering from the disorder.
· It could result in sin taxes being imposed, in analogy with the taxes imposed on the tobacco, alcohol and cannabis industries. There might well be censorship and labelling imposed on games as well.
Remedial measures
· To adopt an ethical code of conduct, and self-regulate to cut down on violence, or expunge politically incorrect storylines.
· Game developers could also contribute some of their profits to medical treatment for addicts.
· Developing games which improve the knowledge of the person, inculcating ethical and moral values in the games will help in avoiding gaming disorder.
