After reading my story in “Ex-video game addict shares his story, and a way out’’ in Globe South Jan. 26, I became even more aware of how important it is for me to make a positive impact in the way people view video game addiction.
I feel that as more families are personally affected by the video game industry, we must know what exactly is being sold to our children and loved ones so that we can make better choices in how we deal with the situation.
The industry leaders are good at what they do. GameStop Corp., for example, prides itself on its corporate profile online as the world’s largest video game retailer consisting of 6,627 stores in 17 countries worldwide. But read the first page of its website, which states, “Find out how much they love you. . . . Check your gift card balance here.’’
