I read your comment while sitting in the den watching anime with my older son and asked him if he thinks he overindulges in video games because of deep seated emotional trauma.

He said, "I don't think I overindulge in video games."

I said, "You play quite a lot."

He said, "I also work and go to school quite a lot."

Which I couldn't disagree with. But several hours a day of gaming feels like a lot to me (especially when he plays almost all weekend). But maybe we just have a different definitions of what playing too much looks like.
