Limiting gaming hours, a good idea?

China is thinking of implementing a limit on the hours teenagers can spend gaming, this would effect games mostly like WoW etc.

This smacks 'big brother', but it's got to be a healthy thing right? Would games like WoW which is a huge success because it feeds on addiction, will it suffer to the point of not worth buying / playing, so would that must be bad for gaming as a whole? The industry would take a hit for sure.

Would it ever happen here? Would it be a bad thing? I don't think so, the amount of people I know that play wow (I'm an ex player) that are basically wasting their lives away, this would surely help those 'types'
