I'm not a gamer. I played DOOM a little when it first came out for MSDOS in the 90's, got bored, haven't gamed since. Got better things to do.

But I think the senators would do well to listen to the scientists on this one. Political hysteria is not going to help.

In any case, a reasonably bright, dedicated teenager will figure out how to work around any barrier that the politicians put up. That's what being a teenager is all about.
