Parents enabling addiction.
I have misgivings about the game. They play it in my home office or nearby, so I hear the interaction. On plus side, they are learning teamwork. Very valuable. On the negative side, they are killing opponents. In the latter I figure it is no different than when I was young and we played Cowboys & Indians or Allies & Germans. I have though, on the Nintendo switch, limited their daily play to two hours. Great feature to keep tabs on and limit their play. Further, those two hours are conditions on doing something academic of equal time.
Derision is appropriate
The Journal is good at being nonjudgmental about parents who do loony stuff. I remember an article about those who move around the country to get their children on the “best” sports teams.
It’s just a reminder that the paper is ultimately about money.
I have no clue what this is. Last computer game I played was Doom.
I’m late to this article but Fortnite is addicting as a slot machine is. Programmers can have their machines to learn what players want developing an addiction. Look into the psychology of this game and it is disgusting.
