PLUS: The king of network TV, wild new stats, and a good meme. [The Hustle] We want The Hustle to be the best email in your inbox. In case you haven’t already — take our [45-second annual reader survey]( to help us make that happen. We read every single response.  In today’s email: - Gaming: Why it can be good for developing brains. - Chart: Dick Wolf is the king of network TV. - Digits: Tom Cruise, military baby food, Uber prices, and more.Around the web: A strange cake, a sleepy polar bear, an art show interpreted by an artist, and more cool internet finds. 🎧 On the go? [Listen to today’s quick podcast]( to hear Jacob discuss a military operation for baby formula, Tom Cruise’s impact on baby names, and why gaming is better for the brain than TikTok, except in China where it’s essentially illegal. The big idea [gaming]( Gaming can be good for you For years, video games have been stigmatized as “bad for kids.” But a [recent review]( of over ten years of gaming studies challenges that notion. The review, published in the journal European Psychologist, found that gaming in moderation can be good for developing brains, and doesn’t have the same downsides as TikTok, which has been linked to [attention issues](. Teens and young adult gamers… ... performed better than nongamers on several cognitive tasks, per WSJ, including: - Switching between visual tasks - Dividing attention between different moving objects - Remembering the location of hidden objects While these benefits don't necessarily mean kids should start playing video games to get smarter, one of the psychologists says “parents also shouldn’t worry about gaming frying kids’ brains or making them zombies, because that’s not true.” Unless, of course… … they play too much. Determining how much is “too much” depends on the person, but some potential signs to look out for include: - Getting anxious or irritable when unable to game - Lying about how much they game - Losing interest in things they used to enjoy Internet gaming disorder is an actual ailment defined by the [World Health Organization]( as consistently prioritizing gaming over other activities, despite negative consequences. This behavior… … is one reason gaming gets a bad rap. A quarter of American adults think video games are a waste of time, and 40% believe people who play violent games are more likely to exhibit violent behavior, according to [Pew Research Center](. The Chinese government even crafted policy to address gaming, [banning]( kids from online gaming on weekdays and limiting play to one hour per day on weekends and holidays. Maybe it's time for a more nuanced perspective on gaming. Like many things, it’s fine in moderation.

Due to covid lockdowns, China’s GDP is only expected to grow 2% this year, while the US GDP is projected to grow 2.8%. SpaceX [paid $250k]( to settle a sexual harassment claim against Elon Musk in 2016. The suit was filed by a flight attendant on a corporate jet who, among other claims, says Musk offered her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage. Musk flatly denies the allegations. Stern warning: Y Combinator [sent a letter]( to its portfolio’s founders urging them to “plan for the worst” amid market turbulence. The letter also encouraged them to cut costs. New partners: Snap [revealed]( a new integration with eBay that lets users share links to the shopping site in stories and snaps. Meta prohibited employees from [talking]( about abortion on Workplace, the company’s internal chat tool, claiming that it could risk the company being perceived as a “hostile work environment.” Frontline support: Nursing burnout rate has hit 50% since the onset of the pandemic, a costly issue for both workers and hospitals.

In 2020, megaproducer Dick Wolf [signed]( a five-year deal with NBCUniversal-owned Universal Television worth an estimated $1B, per The Hollywood Reporter. If Wolf’s name doesn’t ring a bell… … maybe his shows will. He has [nine of them](: - “Law & Order,” which is in its 21st season, and its two spinoffs — “Law & Order: SVU” (23rd season), and “Law & Order: Organized Crime” (second season) - “Chicago Fire,” ending its 10th season, and its two spinoffs — “Chicago P.D.” (ninth season), and “Chicago Med” (seventh season) - “FBI,” ending its fourth season, and its two spinoffs — “FBI: Most Wanted” (third season), and “FBI: International” (first season) It may seem odd that the three “FBI” series air on CBS given Wolf’s contract with NBCUniversal, but the move to co-produce the franchise came [out of necessity](: Thanks to his six other shows, NBC didn’t have any prime-time slots left. Within each banner… … Wolf’s team has created interconnecting narratives, proving that Marvel isn’t the only brand building its own universe. The result? A highly loyal audience of 10m+ viewers, including our editor Jen, who can’t get enough.

McCormack / Stringer Digits: Tom Cruise, military baby food, Uber prices 1) Tom Cruise’s Top Gun: Maverick releases in theaters this Friday.

Per-mile pricing has increased over 27%, the result of a perfect storm of rising gas and car prices, as well as labor shortages and renewed investor interest in meaningful profits. 4) A 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe race car sold [for $142m at a secret auction](.
