Well, particularly those with (younger) kids.
What is your opinion on your kids gaming? I've got my first coming along this summer. I can't help but think back in the 90's I was glued to the screen playing through Faxandu, fighting Bald Bull, and exploring the world in Final Fantasy 1 for NES. All I did was game. Drinking Mt Dew by the 2L bottle, and hammering down whatever snack that was in reach. I almost never went outside. All I did was stare at that screen. Even through college playing Lineage ][ and Warcraft I was gaming 40h+ a week. Easy. Nowadays I travel the country by motorcycle, go camping almost every weekend, and tinker in the garage with whatever motorsport project I have going on at the moment. I can't get enough of the outdoors now.
Once our kiddo gets older, I'm going to do what I can to deter them from gaming. I don't want them to waste their lives away like I did when I was younger. My wife feels the same way. Though, I do have fleeting thoughts it'd be nice to play co-op with them.
Just curious if others have introduced gaming to their younger kids.
