Man that fucking sucks. I spent far more time than that playing CS1.6 as a kid, I turned out fine.

I would be absolutely livid if my government tried to tell me how much time I could spend doing what I wanted, and remember distinctly being conscious of making those decisions for myself from at least 12+ (lying a lot because of the amount of services that made me say I was over 13).

On the upside, kids are going to start playing CS 1.6 since it doesn't have this DRM instead of slot machine simulators.

As a kid my school's DRM prevented more modern, online games so we played a cracked version to CS 1.6 over the local network, it was loads of fun.
