description Problematic video gaming is a global problem. Policy and programs responses to the problem vary among countries, partly due to cultural differences in the east and the west, meaning that caution is needed in drawing comparisons.

We suggest using a public health approach, based on our experience in dealing with commodities, which are harmful to health.
