For the Millennial generation, gaming is a way of life. Today, more than seven hundred million people around the world play online games—159 million in the U.S. alone—and most play for more than an hour each day. The average young person racks up more than 10,000 hours of gaming by the age of twenty-one. That’s almost exactly as much time as kids spend in the classroom throughout middle school and high school. Gaming isn’t just something that young people do, it is a large part of what and who they are.
