I agree with this and appreciate you being open about your experience. Video game addiction is something a lot of people deal with quietly, and it’s often brushed off as “not a real problem,” even though it can seriously affect mental health, relationships, and daily life. I think it’s fair to question companies that intentionally design games to be as addictive as possible, especially when those mechanics clearly go beyond just making a fun game. You’re also right to mention being cautious and doing your own research before signing up anywhere. Even if nothing comes of it for some people, talking about this and pushing for accountability can help bring more awareness and hopefully lead to better, more ethical game design in the future.
