Uh oh. That's a slippery slope. Calling parents down for not parenting? Lies and slander.

That article only highlights two types of people.

People who are addicted to other things and addicted to games.
People who have bad social lives, or bad parents and are addicted to games.

I am of the third category, where I've had great parents, and some really good friends, was never addicted to drugs or alchohol, but was addicted to muds.

But one thing we did discover was that game addiction can't be treated the same way drug or alchohol addiction is treated and in that resepct, I understand where the clinic is comming from, but to be honest, I think they are reporting the information wrongly. (i.e., I think the BBC is wrong, not the doctor at the clinic)
