Do you think ICafe & Gaming Station owners are partly to be blame for the childs addiction to computer games? Is it true that counter strike has a bad effect in the mind of the child because of the its violence?

First, You can blame the video game of the bad effects on the children but the children themselves. Who cant even separate between the real world and a virtual world. I hated it when people blame video games just because they rape girls or taking other peoples life. Then they would blame on games like GTA and CS and many more games. You don't see professional CS players killing people on the news. Do you? And these pros have been playing this game for most hours of the day for 7 days for months and years. Secondly, You cant blame the owners for children's addiction to the computer games. Its always the victims. The children are not taught of the way of healthy gaming. I myself are not gaming healthily but i would try to find time, hang out with my friends more than spending more time in front of my computer. Yes, Im a computer game addict, but when it comes to life plus my studies and ministry work, I would prioritize putting my studies first, then my ministry work and lastly, gaming. Have a healthy diet and stuff. You see, it all comes to the victims. Well, thats my POV whether you agree or not im just stating mine.

Typos... you cant blame video games for the bad effect on the children themselves, who cant even separate between the real world and a virtual world.

according to this research, fast-paced and action games increase the eyesight and the concentration of players ( not to be played in excess tho ) but who cares.. they are fun! :P

yes, yes, this computer game is really not a good example for children, though I enjoy playing it. :) It's addicting but it's not good for children because of the violence it shows. It's not bad for health, it's just bad mentally.
