Moreover, I know plenty of young people who went on to become combat pilots, elite soldiers, and astronauts because of video games played in their youth.
I guess I'm speaking more to people's
values than a video game.
Spending countless hours doing something that one could be doing in reality is simply wrong and selfish. Its not just guitar hero. Tony Hawk games come to mind, as well as obviously DDR. I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them.
When the total time spent playing a simulation could have been spent becoming an accomplished player for real, there is a problem.
