One they carry with them unknowingly into adulthood, when they may not have a support system capable of providing safe relief of their issues. Seeking such a rush for an adult may clear the system by shocking it. A child who seeks dopamine may grow into an adult thrill seeker. A child who seeks dopamine through fear can grow into a more dysfunctional adult. I feel the after effects of fear in a child can often create unnecessary risky behavior when the game is outgrown. These games are marketed to children, and as adults we owe them a safe gaming environment. Most children are released into the world of games alone based solely on statements made by those who profit from the use of said games. While the statements may be true in specific situations, they are only half truths in all situations. There are people who only hear that these games increase self esteem and improve motor skills and reasoning ability. That's what the marketers want us to hear. But looking ahead for a child we see a need for release that goes undiagnosed and untreated. There are natural ways to increase dopamine. These methods are always accessible but rarely undertaken in a world full of instant gratification. There are mistakes you can't come back from. Like a depressed teenager who doesn't understand why they do things they know to be harmful. That teenager who's body knows a sure way to feel better is to do something risky and live through it. This will translate to dysfunctional relationships, manic highs and lows, violence, abuse, or tolerance of abuse, confusion, depression, inability to cope, etc. Viewing the behavior is enough for me.   It's a giant red flag. Would you wish your child or loved one to be in a state of depression and hopelessness? Would you want them contemplating jumping off a building or picking fights because they are surrounded by people who don't understand their need for dopamine? Or should we just create more pharmaceuticals to treat ailments and tragedies that could have been avoided?  When do we begin to understand that childhood doesn't have to be something to overcome as adults? We can and should look ahead for our children. A toddler chases a ball into the street until we show them by our actions that it's dangerous. The world has changed but we are not adapting fast enough to keep our children alive.  There are other possible aspects to this issue that are overlooked. One being the prevalence of computer creators. Computers have been utilized to come up with solutions to problems. They've also been used to find creative solutions. However, as we know, computers are not capable of original thought. They are not "creative". While they may have the mother load of information, they can only use logic. Given the problem of ADD/AD HD, childhood separation and anxiety created by the pandemic, what would a computer come up with? Something like Five nights at Freddy's? Good probability. How would A.I. address an obvious need for dopamine in children? It would scare them momentarily.  Does this make A.I. evil? No. This makes A.I. a program that is incapable of original thought. It's not a valid solution to the actual problem facing society. It's a quick fix, and that's what A.I. does. It finds the quickest solution to a problem, not the best one. How would a human solve the original problem? With a hug, a smile, love, a phone call to mom or dad, a visit with a friend, a pet, a cup of cocoa, ice cream, comfort...  Think about this: Musk gets sued because an 18 year old was able to disable the speed cap on a Tesla and drove at 116 mph ultimately crashing and dying, but we're ok with games creating addicts and depression? I'm not saying I believe adults can't have this kind of game. I'm not saying I believe adults can't have this kind of game. I'm saying that adults are only hearing one side of the story and children are developing into adults tomorrow based on the mistakes we make today. It's a problem for every generation. We have ratings as a compromise to censorship. Why not start looking ahead and reducing the number of problems created by our lack of foresight?
