(2016). In our opinion, the confusion in DSM-5 diagnosis could be due to the weak starting point in building the criteria. The criteria such as functional impairment and stability of the dysfunctional behavior are considered. It is suggested that avatar identification, playing motivations, and types of video games should be considered for diagnosis. The diagnostic process is highly influenced by social context and the rapid development of video game industry. The commentary ends by considering the distinction between online and offline video gaming and the critical consideration of everyday behaviors as being addictive.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1556\/2006.6.2017.010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,17]],"date-time":"2017-03-17T07:25:26Z","timestamp":1489735526000},"page":"124-127","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["From Pong to Pokemon Go, catching the essence of the Internet Gaming Disorder diagnosis"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Xavier","family":"Carbonell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FPCEE Blanquerna, Universitat Ramon Llull, Barcelona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"425","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"B1","series-title":"Current Addiction Reports,","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"186","DOI":"10.1007\/s40429-014-0024-9","article-title":"Caffeine use disorder: A review of the evidence and future implications","volume":"1","author":"Addicott, M.\u00a0A.","year":"2014","unstructured":"Addicott, M.\u00a0A.\n           (2014).
