Look at how much you gamed, and look how you turned out. Would that be ok for your children?


In a similar boat as the parent as far as turning out alright. But in college I saw more people who gamed as much as I did flunk out than people who made it through with me.

The games we used to play had some degree of extension like modding or scripting that at least caused me to branch out. The same can't be said of the current generation who will grow up with games like Fortnite that have no depth outside of the game itself.

I guess there is minecraft but I don't know how that is doing and will probably be an exception not the rule in the future.


Single data point. There are others that didn't turn out so well.
