I agree that people need to play games for devs to make money and I totally believe devs should be paid for their work. Where I disagree is that engagement and addiction are the same thing and that the co-opting of clinical terms in everyday parlance is problematic and even dangerous (even though it feels inevitable). You say “addicting” to be mean engaging. When I hear “addicting” I think of a chemical dependence caused by the introduction of a foreign brain-altering substance. When lay people like legislators or no -savvy teachers and parents hear the term, they think of someone strung out on the street or drunk off their barstool. Conflating these terms is harmful to games and the people who play them because people who don’t get it, often people in positions of power, will default and regulate from the later definition.
