From GamePolitics comes a Reuters article that will probably make you foam at the mouth, both for its lovely 'how did it take you people this long to notice?' quality, as well as the rather unfair characterization of the industry by an 'expert.' Dr. Sally Black expounds on griefers as well as her personal opinions on gaming, which span from 'games are addictive' to 'the industry is going after your children with advertising,' including nice comparisons to the tobacco and alcohol industries.
"... Right now these marketers are going straight after the young ones to try to get them addicted at an early age, and it's like a parent trying to fight tobacco and alcohol. It's very difficult," she said.
There's actually some interesting discussion over at GamePolitics once you get past the frothing and foaming at the mouth.
