D&D isn't designed to be addictive, and hasn't been used to psych-profile its users or influence elections.

False dichotomies all the way. I feel like any discussion around meta and social media on this platform brings out the most obnoxious sycophants.

I stopped engaging in such discussions. There are some people who are reasonable and make sense, but the rest are just outright batshit crazy. They want more restraints, more censorship, more anti-privacy crap? Or they equate "good" with addictive? Come on.

Just because it's good doesn't mean it's addicting.

Are we getting to the point where any enjoyment of anything is viewed as an addiction and a sickness?

Is the concept of a game just being fun that alien?
