If I'm permitted to be somewhat silly (or nausea-inducing), I can imagine there will be a few 'dedicated' gamers interested in this, as I genuinely know a few people who wear garments to ensure that they can play games non-stop, for hours on end, without any toilet breaks.

I wish I was but I'm honestly not joking.

Gaming should treated the same way opiates are treated but worse. It's an addiction but on top of that inherently antisocial. Think about all of us who grew up gaming and have poor social skills. Maybe spending our formative years in an antisocial reactionary subculture, staring at a screen on teamspeak without the ability to see anyone's facial expressions had something to do with it. At least crackheads socialize in person at the crackhouse.

I hope in 50 years we'll view ipad babies the same way we view giving babies cocaine and heroine today.
