Now video games are blamed for addiction
Before they were blamed for school shootings
What's next?
But these addictive features definitely exist and I don't like how the video game industry - at least AAA titles - have become cash grabs.
We’ll now know when hyperbitcoinization has happened.
When video games and VR is blamed for people storing all their pocket money out of the reach of their parents 😂 and when their 9 year old kids have a higher net worth than the parents.

yeah it's tough, i also very much dislike the trend toward cash grabs in triple a titles, and i agree that lootbox mechanics are intentionally predatory, and shouldn't be targeted at children. but suing a video game company because your shitty kid plays fortnite 7 hours a day is a bit much for me. take some personal responsibility
