Weird 2010's gamer nationalism meets china bad.
"Oh no, kids won't be able to use games to escape reality now" — Good, have them play outside or read a book or something.
"Horrible, I couldn't live without games" — Yes, this law is attempting to help people before they become like you.
"New generations won't grow up to be gamers now" — How will society survive!
"It's about controlling freedom of thought" — Ah, yes, this will stop the great dialogue had by fourteen-year-olds in LoL game chats.
playing an instrument is several orders of magnitude more difficult than being a g*mer and can easily become a social acvitity IMO
I've never felt dirty the same way I do playing video games when I sink inordinate amounts of time practicing
