Videogames aren't just for "fun" anymore, the videogame industry made a net income of $6.3 billion in 2002, surpassing even the movie industry. Developers profit and continue to take advantage of today's youth with cute, loveable, addictive, and recognizable franchise characters. A practice and strategy similar to those used by the tobacco industry.

Now that's just the biggest piece of BS I've ever heard in my life. Why can't these ignorant dumbasses understand that video-games are just for fun and entertainment? Like Nelo, I get good grades, despite the fact that I'm an "addictive" video game player. Instead of relying on their so-called "researches", they should go out and ask people like us what we think about gaming. I'm sure they'll be surprised at the answer.
Someone, send them a hatemail or something.
