Game addiction is a serious mental health disorder, like alcoholism or drug taking. We need an inquiry to look at what action needs to be taken to tackle video game addiction, including whether some types of game need to be banned.

More details

Not enough is being done to look at the effects of highly addictive games, like Fortnight, on our young people.
