So, lately I've been seeing some posts on gaming and I've been wondering. I've been playing Roblox for an hour and I plan to hit my usual time of 4-5 hours. I do it to pass the time.

Addiction is not about how many hours you play, it's about how much it interferes with other priorities.

That said, above 20 hours a week would be around the borderline for me. If I started playing more than that then I'd probably be addicted.
