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.

      85% of Australia lives within 20km of a City.

      There are city dwellers, rich retirees that make the inner country unaffordable with $15 coffees and $2million dollar homes in "quaint" former farming villages, and station owners who own farms the size of Belgium. So to a first approximation, everyone who might be a gamer does live in an urban centre.

      Ok that doesn't really help the majority of people who do live in urban environments though?

      Great for you if you walk 2 steps outside and fall into a pristine lake surrounded by a huge forest but that doesnt really represent most people who would try to find a hobby to take up their time.

      It's 90 degrees out in most of the US rn. It's not realistic to go hiking or camping in that weather unless you are dedicated. It's not something you can do whenever.
