I can't help but feel this entire article was written through the prism of a gamming addict.
It's very simmilar to the cable news channel viewers that see every minor political event as the end of the world and believe everyone else in the world feels the same way, but in reality most people couldn't care less.<p>The truth is many people do spend lots of time and money playing video games but eventually they get bored and lose interest, then they find another game to consume their time and bank accounts.<p>I would think that age demographics would shed a more impartial light on the true amount of gaming consumption as compared to other forms of lesure activity. I have a sneaking suspicion that Millenials, the largest demographic since the Baby Boomers might be skewing the numbers and once this current generation of gamers grows up, start families and begin enjoying life rather than seeking an escape, gaming will not "Take Over".<p>I would also like to point out that the person writing this article chose to spend their time creating this long post rather than playing a game.
