EverQuest or EverCrack

Wired News has a peice on The Quest to End Game Addiction. It is mostly anecdotal, but mentions two Yahoo groups of EQ widows, one of which apparently has more than 1000 members.
The most touching part is a link to a confession by a 17 year-old Ontario boy on how he suffered from computer game addiction. (See Re: Computer Game Addiction.) Could this be a spoof?
Is game “addiction” a significant problem? Could it be a reflection of a gap between those who play and those who don’t – non-players convinced that there must be something wrong with the player.
