Video Games Are Good?

In the past I would have been a bit easier on GTA, but as we all know times are changing and society is becoming even more violent.

too much like hard work?

I’ve been a Graphic Designer for quite a while now (about 20 years at last count). And it seems to me that there is a growing trend in the industry and society in general, and that is for want of a better word laziness.
