       The Italian city of Bologna has launched a campaign for kids that spend too long playing video games.Slogans such as "Enough! I will give away your console to the first person I meet!" and "Stop the videogame, connect to life".Doesn't it feel like 1982 again?Also ironical that Bologna is one of the most active Italian cities in regards to game development and industry events.Or maybe not.

       @damianogerli@mastodon.socialI find wild how in Italian we still use the same word to describe gambling and videogaming, and how it leads to people confusing gambling addiction with videogame addiction...Then again, considering how many mobile games and AAA games contain lootboxes and real-money gambling elements, perhaps it isn't so strange that people confuse the two...
