I'm a World of Warcraft Player. I know exactly how you feel, because I'm an addictive person too and - even if @wwehis said that her brother became a Game Developer by his passion with the game - I spend so many time playing, that I should take this time to learn.
I've gotta say that your article/post opened my eyes and really showed me that the time has to be spend well. Otherwise I'll stuck in my career and never learn something new.
I'll still be playing WoW (Already payed for Battle for Azeroth) but spending less hours in front of Silithus or Orgrimmar.
at last, I have to say - #ForTheHorde and #ForAzeroth !
To be honest, WoW gave me a lot of great memories but I also use it as an escape mechanism. It's not different than using: alcohol, food, sex, and yes, work!]
What this article describes in 1 month, I did it from 2004-2008ish. It severely stunted my career.
It got so bad that this particular addiction (partially) sent me to a 12-step program.
