Thanks for the great comment @kkovleva89.

There are plenty of adults (mostly men I would imagine) that still play lots of video games. I'm going to write another blog on my adult friend who played solid for a year and how that changed his life. There is much to be experienced through a game (so I have witnessed, as I have never played myself). Our ideas about it are much more debilitating than the actual immersion in the game in most cases. It's very hard as a parent to just let them be when everything we have ever thought shows us something else. I believe it is important to support them so they can actually get the most out of the game. If they are constantly worried about getting in trouble or coerced away from it, they will not be able to be fully present with their playing, and hence hindered away from the full experience of it. If they are going to play, may they play fully with presence and passion.
