no, they need P-A-R-E-N-T-S
The game developers need to be the ones experiencing
what its like to deal with a raging child who WILL NOT turn
off their console, or argues and argues for more time so
they can "get to the next level", who values this unreal
world more than the real world.


You're kidding me right? Who's the parent? Unplug the game, lock it up, and throw the child outside to play for a while.

This kind of disobedience has NOTHING to do with games-- do you really expect me to believe that if the game is taken away the child in this scenario will magically behave?

This is lack of discipline pure and simple-- and it's because many of the parents of the current generation can't be bothered to be parents plain and simple. It's also why the insist on blaming game developers, tv shows, school, etc for the fact that THEY have no control over THEIR children.
