Tom Chatfield, author of the book "[URL=http://www.amazon.com/Fun-Inc-Centurys-Serious-Business/dp/0753519852/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_1]Fun Inc.: Why Play is the 21st Century's Most Serious Business[/URL]," was a recent guest on Life Matters (an ABC Radio Nation program out of Australia) to talk about why games get a bad rap and how he hopes the medium will be treated many years from now. Chatfield, who also writes for Prospect Magazine in the UK, eloquently delivers a message that games are good and that all the uninformed opinions about addiction, influence, World of Warcraft, etc. are, well, a little bit uninformed.
