Changing the meaning scoring in Video Games

Call me a skeptic about video game addiction being its own mental disorder. I know I am not a doctor, but this seems to not have enough research yet. I know that there is little barrier to entry, but it being addicted to video games different than being addicted to other forms of escapism. I have known people who have been addicted to video games but they do not act differently that other people who avoid reality. It seems very trendy to make it a stand alone mental disorder.
