You obviously don't know how serious gaming addiction is in South Korea. Live there for only a few weeks and you will know how huge online gaming is there. |

After school, they go to like 4 different cram schools then go to an Internet cafe to game. Their parents aren't there to prevent it since they are just at the cafe from like 12am to 7am. |

| If it'd ever hit in America, oh well, just suck it up and get some new addiction (not drugs...yet). The president of US, Obama, is getting real stingy about video games and effect on education, I agree, but Don's got a point about parents needing to control their kids on games I also agree on. |

Won't matter for me also in about a couple years, not that it ever mattered to me in the first place. |
| Yea South Korea have serious gaming addiction, people actually have died and not just a few either. It's like once a month at least. Not to mention alot of people have developed serious health issues from malnutrition and Exhaustion. The thing is, it's not just Kids most of these people are over the age 18. It's not uncommon for people to play for like 3 days straight and very little breaks. |
| It doesn't think, it doesn't feel, it doesn't laugh or cry..... All it does from dusk till dawn is make the soldiers die. |

| This is honestly the weirdest thing I have ever heard, talk about taking people's rights away. Guess the only right they have is to remain silent. All joking aside though, why are video games a target for such a weird law? And how would they know if gamers were playing past the curfew hour? I would hide under my bed if need be!

And wow, playing three days strait, I would pass out long before then. |

Well yes it's their choice but it can become an inconvenience for everyone else, you when these guys die people don't notice it right away because they probably live alone and they sit there and you know rot for a couple days or more before some one finds out, then you gotta call the police out, then you have to do an autopsy, then you gotta bury him, then you gotta clean that apartment out because it's probably had covered in trash, and there was a dead body rotting there and getting the sink of decay out of a room can cost alot of money and it can become a health risk. So yea wouldn't you want a curfew put in place so you don't have to clean up rotting MMO junky? |

CapellaStar said: Totally agree with you, Why parents blame games for their kid acting like total morons acting from a game if they fail to monitor them or even look what game they are buying for their kid.I'm personally tired of hearing parents blame video games for the way their child is when they themselves haven't done anything to monitor what their kids are playing or set limits as to what they can play and how much they can play :/ |

I am currently living in Korea, and I see this all the time. Kids are up at all hours hanging out at PC rooms, playing computer games. It's kind of frightening to see a 13 or 14-year-old up at 12 am in the morning, at a PC room when they should be at home sleeping. But such is Korea. |

| So that's why the online games I play are overflowing, sometimes, with Koreans at all hours. |
| thats bull!! what do they care if people want to stay up at night playing VideoGames? its there choice not anyone elses!! |

X1287482 said: Yea i hate little 9 year olds when i play an online match they always talk shit with their annoying squeaky voices. And proves a point that little kids should not have a mic on since its pointless 90% of the time if they only good whining and try to be the tough kid in the lobby.I would probably enjoy online gaming if there were less kids on, but the gaming culture as a whole is fairly immature. I don't think it would change my opinion much. I'm for a curfew, but not for the reasons for their own good. It should be their own decision in that regard, but it would be nice to have an anti-immature block of online gaming. Sadly it wouldn't happen with a curfew or not. |
