Oprah Winfrey on the prowl for game addicts
Oprah Winfrey on the prowl for game addicts-October 2024
Oct 22, 2024 4:41 AM

  With the jury still out on whether or not console and computer games make addicts out of thier most dedicated players, Oprah Winfrey has decided to enter the debate.

  While not viewed with the same high esteem as a Charlie Rose or Jim Lehrer. Oprah does have her devotees, and if her producers have their way, those devotees will soon be able to look a living, breathing video game addict, or mother of one, in the eye.

  On the show's Web site, a page prompts readers to respond to a "plug" that asks: "Are You Addicted To Video Games?"

  The promotion continues, asking readers to consider whether their game playing has "complicated your life or your child's life, has affected your social life" or has created "feelings of anger or withdrawal when not playing."

  Since other plugs on the site seek those who "left the fast-track for the mommy track" and those who are "stay-at-home moms with secret addictions," it seems unlikely Oprah will put the game addiction debate to rest anytime soon.
