Video games are designed to make you hooked and extract as much as they can from you. You are slaves on the world they created, wasting your consciousness away on a virtual world. And the grinding games are the absolute worst, its just the same gameplay over and over.
Well, if you get hooked to this kind of games it clearly is you who has the problem

Video games are designed to earn money with them, that's for sure.
I don't think many of us know how to monetize our passion because I have met with people that really like playing video games and other games. We would be enslaved when we treat video games just to please the desired of our mind and heart but if we mean business, we would not be addicted to it but rather we would see the playing of the games as a business.
