EPTThe kids need to study more, and dont play videogames all day long.
I think Leenock is too young to stop studing and work as a player, per example.

All these (terrible)laws lately from NA to EU to KR to everywhere... im sad. Edit: I think a possible reason of why goverment(s) isnt leaving it up to the parents is they simply want to push in a different direction than we as an entire general population, parents and all want to go. If that wasnt the case then these kinds of laws would be truly absurd and wouldnt even be an idea to begin with. | ||

Parents have the role of parenting. Kids in korea already study more than anywhere in the world.(at least I know they study a lot) | ||

Someone from South Korea should correct my oversimplification, but from what I understand, Koreans must use an ID to use online services, so I imagine that you wouldn't be able to do that for long. And obviously if you're a progamer with the high profile of someone such as Leenock, I imagine they would require them to be pretty transparent with how much practice time he's getting. | ||

Besides, gaming "addiction" doesn't exist, playing less only increases your longing to play whereas playing more makes you tired of it and regulating what you do is the job of parents, not government. But those are all secondary points compared to how many dreams will be ruined. Sure, Flash may not have to retire now, but people like Leenock and Jjakji will, all because of an imagined addiction and an unchecked government. | ||

Korea has a history of conservative dictatorship and as a society they are very reserved. The current government has fought more than one culture war and they will continue to do so. | ||

Like say punish for going over 21-28 hours per week. I would hardly call it an addiction if for example a kid played games over the afternoon/evening on Saturday and Sunday, but not on weekdays, 3 hours max a day seems a bit silly. (The definition of 'addiction' itself can be argued in this context) As an aside - they have Education, Science and Technology under one ministry and/or representative? Lots of responsibility there Um, your math is weird, You say 3 max per day is silly but your limit of 21 hours per week is EXACTLY what they are talking about (3hours x 7 days a week= 21 hours a week) lol. I'd say 5-6 hours a day isn't much of a problem. Some pros that i know of only practice 4-5 hours a day. These are people like Stephano and NesTea so it shouldn't be too bad if they can do it and get good results. | ||

I think you misunderstood, I interpreted his comment that the time limit isn't the problem, but rather that people would probably be happier if they were able to play longer periods some days rather than essentially being 'forced' to play their 3 hours a day else they 'lose' play time. 3 hours max per day is pretty rigid. | ||
