If not, take the games away and make them deal without them. I don't think they will go into violent DT's without them, and maybe they will find out there is more to life than gaming, as sacreligious as that may sound, all things considered...
Biggest problem there is that its not just affecting young kids

The vast majority of gamers are aged 21-28 or something like that, and a lot are addicted
