    In this case, yes.

    Game developers employing psychologists to design systems to suck out money out of kids are a real problem, regardless of the context. Similar to advertisement targeted at children, but squared.

      I agree w the sentiment but not the exact statement; games themselves arent the problem, but theyre starting to become a part of it due to disgusting practices by folks like tencent n em.

      Ironically one cool studio that doesnt indulge in such practices is fromsoftware. Just drops peak and keeps moving, even tho i believe theyre owned, at least partially or to some extent, by tencent as well? (scary)
