I am very big into Balance. Take away this harmless release, you may find yourself creating a nasty relationship between the two of you. Your choice. IMO Pulling the Plug is not the answer.
pulling the plug isn't the answer, I agree but at 18 the kid shouldn't be spending all of his time walled up in his room playing games either. he'll regret it later in life if he keeps doing it. it may be easier to avoid life right now and live through this fantasty life that may "seem" better but in the end, you achieve nothing with it.
