Videogame addiction is not about ADHD
It is about them not having anything else in their lives that is fun, not being let out of their homes to explore because their parents are overprotective idiots, etc.

Personally, if someone sits and plays a game for 10 hours straight.... I wouldn't diagnose them with ADHD, which that diagnosis is SEVERLY overused to get teachers out of their responsibility to keep children entertained and engaged while teaching them!
