Employing in-depth interview, this study sought to explore the meaning of game play among those adolescent game addicts. Recent evolution of game text and rapid diffusion of smart media contributed to their addictive game use. Stronger relationship-building with their peer group through game play was also more important for them. In addition, alienation from family, school and society apparently led those adolescents to evaluate the virtual experience to be more valuable and meaningful. Lack of proper parental mediation and intervention from the school authority caused them to spend more time in the virtual world. Without understanding the complex social context surrounding the adolescents, a systematic approach to attenuate the problem of game addiction is hardly attainable.
