Except of course if you're so addicted that you'd go and reset the router. Then it'd need to be in a locked cabinet or something.
In Ernest Cline's highly enjoyable novel "Ready Player One," when our hero realizes that he's become so fat and slovenly spending all his time in the book's online virtual world that he will soon be needing "big and hefty" sized immersion gear, he activates the built-in health lockout feature, which requires him to spend a certain amount of time working out in a virtual gym before allowing him to access anything else. Once activated, the feature cannot be cancelled for several months.
