I think I did read it, and I re-read it again. Video games cannot be blamed for any sort of abnormal behaviourial patterns shown by kids or grown-ups.
It's high time parents took some responsibility of neglecting their children for the more "pleasant social bonds" they persist to pursue. How many parents out there actually spend some quality time with their children out of the 24 hours of their daily lives? Less than 25%.
Moreover, studies have shown that video games actually help in sharpening the intelligence of many. So it is surprising that such an allegation arises.
I have seen people who played video games for 20-22 hours at a stretch, now abandoned it and look for a more purposeful life.
So trust me, it can be done by an individual, if he toughens himself mentally, and gets the full support of his family, friends and close ones.
