I have no problems with video games in moderation. But a lot of these people let them control thier lives or thier lives revolve around them. I've seen families break up, financial problems, loss off employment, even substance abuse. All due to videos games. For some people playing video games all day takes away thier abilities to cope with reality and to be able to prioritize thier lives. I personally see videos games as a plague to our society. Can they be played responsibly? Yes . But I the see the other scenario all too often.
