Sub for any gaming related content!

Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

You can't sue us for making games 'too entertaining,' say major game developers in response to addiction lawsuits (www.pcgamer.com)

It would help the prosecution's case if there first was scientific evidence of there being such a thing as gaming addiction

There's already evidence, and studies showing how u can also develop an addiction (which basically applies to everything and anything).

But-t we aint talking about games in general, we r talking about those games focused solely on lootboxes and "surprise mechanics" as ubisoft likes to call their digital casinos.

Im also a gamer dude, and thats why we need to recognize when theres a problem in the industry instead of trying to ignore it.
