I actually remember these types of discussions and papers being written back in the 70's but it was all over "Dungeons & Dragons", a game played with the imagination using pencil paper and dice.
The boffins were convinced it was evil and that we were going to either kill people with swords and battleaxes or commit suicide because we no longer had a grip on reality.
I suppose time rolls on but the preconception of games and gaming still stays pretty much the same.
