  1. Respondents were asked to name three gaming titles, which caused them problems, starting with the most problematic one. Duplicates were removed if one respondent listed the same title two or three times. All three items were optional. We have included “gambling-like titles” as a group of its own, including mentions of gaming involving money, casino simulations, etc. Those who reported this kind of gaming as their source of problems also had problems with other titles (this treatment service was not for gambling). For some titles, like Final Fantasy, multiple different installments were mentioned, and they were grouped. Some participants reported unknown titles, which were included in the “title reported once” group.
