A skinner box is useless and unproductive. Playing quality games as children isn't. They can learn a lot from useful games. It isn't just a constant supply of happy from pressing one button
All games are a vehicle for subliminal hypnosis to manipulate emotionally triggered targets into a radical paradigm shift.
Neuro-linguistic programming is child's play with digital games updated with "upgrade packs" for any malicious targeting. Fucking idiots are paying for their own behavior modification.
Seeing as I only really play the souls series, I don't find any subversive elements in it. I view it as a step above sitting infront of the boomer box, but below a true hobby.
