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.

    playing an instrument is several orders of magnitude more difficult than being a g*mer and can easily become a social acvitity IMO

    I've never felt dirty the same way I do playing video games when I sink inordinate amounts of time practicing

      it generally takes a few thousand hours to reach the top 1% of any playerbase, so i'm not sure i agree with this. everything else is true though. putting a few thousand hours into sports, arts, languages, etc will bring you a lot more benefits than having a shiny rank
