heres my view on that. would you rather that the fat kids in America sit inside all day and play or at the very least get out and walk around playing? For some gaming is a hobby just as much as fishing keeping is to us lol.
I'm not outrageously hardcore lol, on my drive home I take an extra 15 minutes to hit all the shops in my town, then look around for a minute for anything rare, then head home haha. the longest I played was on a Saturday I had nothing to do, so me and a buddy walked around for maybe 2 hours.
I view this as a lesser of two evils for sure. I'd rather kids get outside and socialize.
