Dude needs to stop playing predatory gacha games.

I don’t understand people who WILLINGLY install that shit. They KNOW how they work and are monetized. And unlike gambling at a casino, there’s zero chance of you being up money at any point.

You can enjoy a lot of these games without spending a penny, and these games usually don’t have outside ads. Nothing wrong with playing a fun action RPG, as long as you don’t fall for the sucker stuff.

That feels an awful lot like saying opiates are fine just don’t get addicted. It’s easy to say when you aren’t susceptible, but clearly some people are and it’s not very productive to be dismissive of the primary way they make money.

Playing a video game does not destroy your body. Maybe try thinking instead of feeling.

there can be some visible effects from being addicted to video games

Comparing it to an actual illegal drug is a bit fucked up though

What do you think gambling does to a person? They use the same mechanics.

THEN DON’T GAMBLE. I CAN’T DUMB THIS DOWN ANY FIRTHER, HOLY SHIT
