Or not, since these aren’t real conditions. But the Game Arthritis series of kind of makes us wish they were real. After all, scars tell a story, and it’s about time video gaming gave us more impressive ones than just a calloused thumb.

Stupid twats!
so they’re trying to say that 90% of the world’s population will suffer since we all use keyboard and mouse? LOL
