I'm not going to get into video game addiction, but many games especially nowadays are designed to be as addicting as possible and make you want to play them.... World of Warcraft is such a game. There is a very social aspect to the game in that people many times are working together to achieve a common goal. Usually involving killing monsters/evil creatures/beings... However, the social aspect COULD be used for good as much as things like Facebook or pinterest can be used for good. If you desire to demonize video games you should demonize those others as well.

I advocate moderation as opposed to elimination. Others obviously can have other opinions.

If he reads the post good for him... if not meh... we can still have a discussion on the merits of video games. I would enjoy that seeing as some people apparently think I engage in devilry when I play something like simcity or civilization 5.

Demonize those others as well?

Well, isn't Facebook of the DEVIL?
