They go home, they take their pill and they play their video game.
If you're concerned about your child, that's enough.
And that's also why our approach is not about, okay, like this is an addiction, therefore you need to stop.
Our approach is how to raise a healthy gamer, right?
So how can you get this to a level that is healthy, where they're living a full life?
That's sort of what our goal is.
So we have everyone in our community from people who are like 28 years old, have never had a job, didn't graduate from college, play video games for 16 hours a day.
And then we also have product managers at places like Netflix and Google and stuff like that who want to just cut back on their gaming so that they can focus more on their social life or whatever.
And so our goal is not about what's addiction and what isn't.
It's how do you move forward from where you are?

And the reason that people like video games is because it is an approximation of reality.

Maybe I'm not happy with my body.
It's going through changes.
