The Blame Game

Combating video game addiction must be made priority, experts urge has some of the inevitable fallout from the disappearance of Brandon Crisp, described as a "game addicted teen" who subsequently turned up dead after falling from a tree. The article notes that Brandon's parents initially feared foul play related to his gaming ways, but even after that turned out to be incorrect, reports that Brandon initially ran away over a fight about how much he should be allowed to play on his Xbox have prompted outcry to examine the implications of gaming addiction in his untimely demise. The entire focus of the article is on the potentially addictive qualities of gameplay, with no attention paid to how adolescents (Brandon was 15) found reasons to fight with their parents before the first game of Pong was played.
