A recent study by an Australian Psychology graduate suggests that gaming addicts, for all their shortcomings, are not the antisocial nerds we tend to make them out to be.
Of the 621 adult respondents to the study, 15% calimed to spend more that 50 hours a week playing video games, but only 1 percent exhibited behaviors like poor social skills and low-self esteem.
One caveat is that the survey was done online, where people tend to be less shy any way.
