    Just saw an article about a video game called Arena of Valor (aka Honour of Kings) coming out of China in which one woman was blinded in one eye and one young guy had a stroke from playing it too much. The article had other stories of the addictive and/or compulsive nature of this game. Apparently, they have 200 million users in China and it is due to be released in the U.S. and Europe soon. Not sure that I am buying it, but the news story seems real:

    Anyone have any thoughts on this?
