And there's no definitive evidence that playing any video game for more than 3 hours a week is in conflict with our good or the good of the society.

Not all regulations are born equal and some of them are definitely not worth fighting against.

I agree, though definitive evidence is clearly *not* the threshold for when laws to protect us are or are not created.

For example, there is a mountain of evidence that smoking is exceptionally bad for adults, but there's no law against it. I could smoke 20 packets a day from now on. I could even drink 10 bottles of vodka a day perfectly legally.
