Then the internet should not be, seeing 95% of the people you encounter fall under the stupid category.bzk90 said:it only gets worse from here, this thread should be locked

unhealthy people will find a mechanism to express themselves no matter what you, me, or anyone else in the world does.

Ohms_Law said:I disagree.
the Instant Gratification in most video games is an effect of design decisions. thoes design decisions are made by designers creating games marketed twords kids, of whom the company marketing department tells the designer their attention span is only 30 seconds.
Chicken or the Egg?
I'd say TV plays a larger role in this dabate, personally. but then, you can go even deeper and say that it starts in kindergarden with break times...
again, Chicken or the Egg?
Instant gratification is a societal problem in the US (and most of Western Europe now) created by desicions we and our parents (and their parent) have made. Point being, It still has nothing to do with video games in and of themselves. You could just as easily substitute watching TV or any other pure entertainment activity in the story, and it would fit.
