If they try the virtual outdoors and enjoy that they may take the leap and check out the real outdoors eventually.
I think there is already enough virtual outdoor possibilites(PS2, Xbox,regular computer games,arcade games,free games on the interent,etc.) out there. Why spend money just so a kid can play the same basic game(s) on the NGPC website instead of somewhere else? An 8 year old kid doesn't care where the game is hosted from. I'd rather see money go towards better fishing equipment(some of the stuff I've seen used as loaner tackle is quite embarrassing) or spend money on stocking area lakes with easily
caught fish to keep a kid entertained once they do come outside and get fresh air.
