I'm still amazed that this is still being debated! I'm thinking that in maybe a decade or two most legislators will be gamers and no one will have to deal with these (current) zealots!

The right approach to take!

Ronald, I believe you've hit the nail right on the head. Period. Work, spouse and children all have put a serious dent on my gaming time - for now. I've managed to work a schedule where I can play when the rest of the household is asleep. It's not near the 40-hours of game times I had when I...

You're dead on Shannon. The freedom is both a scary thing to newbies (what do you mean I can fly any ship, do anything, train everything?) and an immense benefit to the older player base, who can switch careers when they get bored - I've been a miner, hauler, and trader so far, and I'm finally...
