Op Ed

Hooked Gamers - Media Hype Gaming Addiction, Demonize Games.
The article in the paper points the finger of blame not just at the parents, but the culture kids grow up in. I’m inclined to agree. Parents are scared to let kids outside and there is great comfort in knowing that your kids are safe in their rooms rather than out on the streets amongst their pot smoking peers, pedophiles and child killers that apparently plague our streets. Like anything, gaming is good in moderation. Many parents are not aware of the effects of excessive gaming and when they are suddenly faced with an aggressive or overweight child, they push the panic button and label gaming as dangerous and addictive. They should, instead, look at their own inaction first.

until the greedy bastards have the gaming market wrapped up in a neat little megalomaniacal profit farm package it will continue to be demonized in the media owned by those same greedy bastards.

Pot smoking, pedophilia and child killing are good in moderation? You could convince me on smoking pot, but the other two would be a tough sell.
