Scott Langteau has this message for kids：spend less time playing video s.
It’s a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not­so­youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with controllers in hand.
But the 40­year­old Langteau isn’t a parent.He’s a veteran (老手) of the video industry—one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” s and cofounded his own development company.
Langteau has just published a children’s books called Sofa Boy，which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller clutched in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.
It’s a fairy tale plucked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video s and his own bouts with a bit of addiction.But first，Langteau would like to make one thing clear，“I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video s.I think video s are great.I think they do great things for kids.”Instead，Langteau says his book is all about a little something called moderation (克制)．
“It’s about being well rounded，” he says.“Just like with anything else，we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”
Video rs can be rather bad­tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all，most people who go around talking about the ers of playing video s tend to be outsiders—people who don’t play video s and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.
But Langteau and Sofa Boy seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young masses might actually listen to.After all，this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for s.His early experience has taught him a lesson.
