Online gaming for children?
Online gaming addiction is a plague that is sweeping the world and our children are it's next target. In a recent article from Ars Technica entitled Disney wants your child online: MMOs for tweens (and below) it says that "[Disney] has thrown significant resources behind the creation of online, kid-friendly places." The article talks about making online games with a safe and friendly environment for kids but fails to address what Disney is doing to prevent children from becoming addicted. Play time restrictions, parental controls and other ways of informing parents of their children's online play need to be implemented so parents can help their children avoid an addiction that could ruin their lives.

And what about those of us who aren't so much children? What do WE do about our addiction, huh? Does my child have any chance at all? ;)
Nope, we're toast! :P
I can quit whenever I want to...
LOL...uh huh. Right. Me too.

Interesting post,
The business of the online games industry is a complex one, requiring the input and integration of many variables -- people, business conditions, product goals, and more -- to create, implement, and distribute a successful online game. :)
