well, in games, if you want to progress at all, you are compelled to actively play it. unless you're playing Progress Quest, in which case, do carry on. If you are compelled because you enjoy what you're doing and want to do more of it, that isn't an addiction. If she is against the metered and fractional gameplay…

she's trying to. with her words.

grinding isn't addiction, it's bad or lazy game design compulsing you to play through shit just so you can see game features that may or may not be worthwhile. There's no addiction there. That's the stench of desperation, and trying to get your money's worth out of a bad gaming purchase and to make the best out of bad…

I guess maybe she's talking about the people who think Farmville type games are fun. ie, the mentally disabled.

Wasn't that dude a bad guy? And Ceasar's Legion a bunch of murderers and rapists? And you're proud of the guy? For helping start that? Weird article...I just had to stop and comment about that.
