"Video games are often blamed for unemployment, violence in society and
addiction – including by partisan politicians raising moral concerns.

Blaming video games for social or moral decline might feel like
something new. But fears about the effects of recreational games on
society as a whole are centuries old. History shows a cycle of
apprehension and acceptance about games that is very like events of
modern times."
