Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-23576035 Interesting article... hopefully there will be no 'government intervention'
This article has a few too many holes in it, like a pair of string underpants. At no time do they state what they consider to be the health dangers of "excessive" gaming. Also, they appear to have missed the point that keeping players hooked and playing is precisely what MMORPGs and other games attempt to do!
Rubbish article honestly; the only solution contained in this entire piece is Otherwise it states Because gaming companies warn players of how long they've played and suggest they take a rest. This is ridiculous, just because they are aware that gamers have played a certain amount of time and they decide to let them know how long they've played and suggest that they take a break, does not make them responsible for those players, it makes the company ethical instead. In the end, the players have full control of their playing time and it is their own responsibility to prioritize their own health and not be consumed by the game as they have full control of the decisions they make and the addictions they feed.
