Do you think gaming systems should Shut off after a few straight hours of being used

The BoP is completely on Pro== ARGUMENTS == Okay, so my opponent makes many assumptions in their argument which I need to go over before I start my arguments. a) Most gamers lose track of timeb) You can die from playing a few hours of video games c) Everyone has homeworkOkay so this is sort of a rebuttal but there will be confusion with my argument if these are left unaddressed before I make them. a) You cannot make that claim without any evidence, making this claim has no effect on this debate since it cannot be proven true. b) A teenager died from playing 40 hours on a games console - that's a little different to what you are proposing which is a games console turning off after a few hours. (1)c) There are many adult gamers - as my opponent admits (" the older gamers would have better judgement ") Now that those are cleared up I will resume with the arguments... There are many adult gamers who play consoles as part of their job. The Sidemen, for example, are a group of youtubers who play Fifa 15 / 16 and if you calculate the money that they make from youtube they make at least 1 million pounds yearly each (2)! These users often do live youtube streams that last for around 2 hours. If you suggest that we make their consoles turn off just because you believe that they are playing for too long then that would be probablamatic for them - especially since it's live. It is also pointless, if their console is off and they are addicted enough to have been playing it for a few hours then they will most likely turn it back on again. This will make companies such as XBOX (Microsoft) and PlayStation (Sony) lose money for a pointless feature that really has very little purpose. Another reason is that we shouldn't stop doing things because the minority choose to disobey the rules. It is highly illogical to stop selling knives just because an extremely small percentage of people choose to commit suicide using them. The same principle applies to this debate. If you stop people from playing their consoles for more than a few hours just because less than 1% of gamers die because of this. To elaborate further on the concept of this being pointless and not causing death I would like to redirect you to this link: http://www.mirror.co.uk... (3)This person died after they broke their leg and was forced to stay at home for 22 days. After non stop gaming for 22 days (only to stop for a snack and to go to the toilet) he tragically died. After reading this I am sure that my opponent will revise their argument for the next round due to the fact that it is now clear that a gamer is allowed more than a few hours without having any terrible things happening to them (including death). ==REBUTTALS==Rebuttals are done in the arguments section. Since my opponent only provided 2 arguments it was unncessary to dedicate a section to rebuttals only. Usually I would do rebuttals in a separate round but since there is no debate structure and my opponent has written such a short argument I found it appropriate to contain rebuttals in this round and in the arguments section.
