    Not healthy in my opinion as these people want control of everything. They can’t seperate real life from their gaming life.
    Should adults who play games be audited?

    These gamers give a true and fair view free of material misstatement? That kind of audit?

    Sounds weird... and stoopid...

    I'm not a gamer myself but what's the harm? It's perfectly acceptable to veg out in front of the tv watching Sky Sports or have your head buried in your phone playing Candy Crush or going on Facebook, what's the difference?

    I'm an adult, I play video games, I'm healthy and no i dont want to control everything as you say. I can easily separate my gaming from real life. So tell me, why exactly should someone audit me??

    Gamers, don't be insulted.

    OP's idea of fun is creating troll threads. He's a 13-year-old Xbox gamer but doesn't know it yet.

    I'll take my hobby that I enjoy and be glad it's something I have.

    Maybe we should get people that post pointless threads on the internet audited. Haha

    You do realise that video games are a form of entertainment just like tv etc. The difference with video games is that you interact with them.

    I'm inclined to agree that some can' separate the games from real life. Sure there was a child no older than 29 walking around my estate earlier trying to track a grizzly with an imaginery Winchester in his hands.
