I have mixed feelings about whether or not restricting a child's video game usage is a good idea.

However, I think that the state imposing these restrictions is vastly superior to having parents impose the same restrictions. The amount of time a kid is allowed to play games should not be related to what family they happen to be part of or which parents they happen to have.

Not sure if serious. You're implying a state should have more control over where a child's attention goes over their parents?
