Why does everyone focus on video games so much? Seriously, there are a LOT worse things to worry about, and I'm not talking about wars and genocides here. In America, we have lawyers working punishing, stressful 70+ hour workweeks, but when someone plays video games for even half that amount everyone goes berserk over how bad they are. In Tokyo, rank and file bussiness workers called sararimen leave early, then get back VERY late at night, seeing their family only for a few hours each day. These people are dying fairly regularly from stress and other things, but no one lifts a finger to try and stop this from occuring. The one time someone does die "from" a
video game, it's suddenly everywhere on the internet, and in some newspapers.
