Just because a kid or adult is addicted to video games doesn't mean they can't learn about the great outdoors -- so when we actually go there we're not total strangers! I think it's a good idea.

Yeah. I think the goal is getting this reaction from kids:

From what I am gleaning from this article US Fish and Wildlife understands that too many kids never leave the video game to go outside, so by using the medium that targets those kids best they are able to encourage them to learn about their natural environment. And by using that medium they are increasing their chances that the message will come across. I would have to see the game more to be able to judge it, but if it can get more kids outside searching for nature in their urban or suburban landscapes I'm all for it!
