I definitely agree that it's the eatting and lack of exercise that make us overweight, not the games itself. But online games (MMOs anyway) are developed to keep people playing. Psychologists actually try to make the damn things addictive. So instead of getting up and eatting some real food or getting off your butt you stay online. I just need one more level.... or I'm needed for raids I can't leave... Countless people have lost their jobs, spouses, even their homes by playing games instead of doing what needs to be done in the real world. I love video games, online and offline. But it still makes me angry that MMO companies develop these games to get people to play 24/7. After all, if they're addicted, they're going to keep paying you 15 bucks a month.
