Doesn't the G in GPD stand for gaming?

Games Per Day per capita seems games related.

Games Per Day is misleading, because some games are played for 30 minutes a day while some are played all day. So Gaming Hours Per Minute (Gaming Power Parity) should be used instead.

Some people are really struggling with video game addiction... so GDP could become a real issue.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58979895

Cam Adair finally realised that his addiction to video games was out of control when it made him consider ending his life.

"I struggled with it for 10 years," he says. "I dropped out of high school, never went to college, and pretended to have jobs to deceive my family.

"I eventually wrote a suicide note, and it was on that night that I realised I needed to get help. I'm now 3,860-day-free from my gaming addiction."

...

"The pandemic led to me spending more time than usual watching Twitch [a live streaming service that focuses on people playing computer games], and YouTube," says Mr Adair.

"Much of that [YouTube] content was game streamers and games too, both of which can be strong triggers to relapse and play. Thankfully I was able to stay away from a relapse, but I know many people in the Game Quitters community who did unfortunately relapse during Covid."

I had a friend with a video game addiction. He'd play for two days straight without sleep, ignoring everything else. Failed uni, couldn't hold a job, eventually ended up with heroine. Shrink says as an addict he's prone to addiction in general, not just drugs.
