I warned for years that CoD was training players to only enjoy constant action.
Now the BO ports are here and people quit when they don’t get Nuketown, Raid or Hijacked.

Yes, There was no shortage of graphic and violent content online in the 2000s.
However, as someone who lived through that era, I can say that children back then didn’t spend every day on their phones browsing the internet whenever and wherever they wanted, instead, they played video games that didn’t require internet connection.

Moreover, back then, every online children’s game and media outlet would teach you about internet safety.
