What is the difference between video game addiction and other screen related addiction?

Primarily effects men, just like pornography addiction, so these don't get the same attention as social media addiction for example.

Maybe they are all the same problem, screens are more compelling than life and this statement is only becoming more true each day.

I believe video game addiction is worse because it requires a higher level of attention unlike scrolling crap on facebook/instagram etc.
