One of the worst ideas I've seen to get free game time.

The issue of game addiction itself is still quite thorny. The American Medical Association still doesn't consider game addiction to be a legitimate disorder, while other reports -- including a Swedish study claiming that Warcraft is "more addictive than crack cocaine" -- say otherwise.

I know a psychologist that started playing WoW because the people he was talking with had talked frequently about it. He isn't really hooked, but he does play it still. xP

Graham hopes to launch the project "by the end of the year," and has called on Warcraft maker Blizzard to possibly give therapists free access to the game.
