Letter: Game not over

Published 2 April 2014

From Tony Park

As a computer gamer and hobbyist computer-game author, I was disappointed to see video gaming included in a list of apparently self-evidently bad things in your article on evolutionary traps (15 March, p 43). You might just as well have included fish-keeping or railway modelling.

Playing board games is generally considered a wholesome family activity, and television and film-viewing are mainstream. Why does Âé¶¹´«Ã½ succumb to portraying a combination of the two as the bogeyman of human hobbies?
