Am i the only one who agrees with South Korea goverment here? because gaming addiction their is sick. They sit literally for hours and hours, and THATS what its hurting their economy, millions of students who could be buisness people, workers or anything are just playing games and hopefully being the best out there. This isnt sustainable, I myself play LOTS of hours each day, but i know how it can hurt my health, and my career and school and so on. Find a balance.

Finding a balance is up to each and every person, and it's also up to their parents to instill such values in their children.  What isn't sustainable, is the Government attempting to police recreational activities.   When things are done for you, or forced upon you, it tends to not have the desired effect.  People don't learn life lessons, if you do it for them.  So, if it's not video games, they'll move onto something else that satisfies them.  Or, as I said, you'll drive it underground, which is precisely what's happened in the US in the past when it comes to prohibitions.  That War on Drugs really worked out well for the US, didn't it?
