Portal 2 controversy

[Escaep]

That's not always feasible. A parent working full-time and caring for his child would find it very difficult to fit in the full playthrough for (e.g.) the original Half Life before having his daughter play the same thing all over again.

On the other hand, Portal 2 is short enough that a busy parent could play through the whole thing before handing it off. It would still be a difficult to fit it in, but if you really want to shelter your children, a week or so to run a playthrough an hour at a time would be a small price to pay.

I'm saying that in the time he was playing it with his children he could have been playing it himself to ensure it was what he deemed appropriate for his children.

Presumably, he wants to spend time with his kid. Playing ahead while his kid is in the other room is not really a way to spend time with his kid.
