Here in France, a few years a go, we got the same troubles with RPG. Some guys suicide themselves and suddenly, everybody said they were roleplaying gamers and they suicide because they were identifying themselves to the chars they were playing... you ll always find parents unable to assume their full chess in raising their children and who will reject it on an easy target. So, when their acts are approved by a few weak public personnalities in loss of popularity (don't wanna name Mireille Dumas here).. it becomes a nationnal threat, pointed by all the familly associations and so on...
of course its addictive, of course some guys arent able to consider a game as a game, but i also seen some guys suicide because of their job, their wives, etc etc, and nobody said to stop to work or to stay single !!!
