He's wrong, but sexist guys like him usually are when they open their mouths, especially when he has to desperately defend his source of income - money is likely all he cares about.
Parents aren't magicians. They can take the systems of their kids away, but kids can just play elsewhere. Parents also need to *notice* there is a problem, which is not always easy. An addiction can always develop, and then needs rehab. Games can be one of those just like tons of other, weirder things. Even "not eating" can be one, guys.
The situation is made worse by peer pressure - kids that don't do Fortnite atm are out, and even get bullied for it. If you know teachers, this won't be new. These all lead to problems. It's a mass phenomenon, and some people will overdo it, like with any mass phenomenon.
Overreacting and shrieking that rehab is totally dumb is just a failure of yours to understand humans on a basic level.
Wow, do you have kids?
I have two sons at home and they love gaming. However, as a parent, I take responsability about screen time, content and attitude. Screen time is simple, you earn it and you don't forget to do something else during the day. Content can be managed at home but I understand that they play Call of Duty at their friend's so you can't win them all but doesn't relieve you of your duty do talk about it and attitude says it all.
I understand rehab can be a thing but sincerely, you have the power to act first at home.
