- Play as long as its fun.
- Stop when it isn't.
- Come back when there's something new that would make it fun for you again.
- Repeat
Tell that to a gambling addict. It may sound hyperbolic, but Destiny pretty clearly is designed in such a way that it preys on its players in basically the same manner. Even its microtransactions are literally gambling. As someone who legitimately struggled for a period with balancing playing games and real life, it's astounding to me that anyone could defend the way Destiny treats its players. You can say stop when it's not fun all you want, but that is not the message Destiny itself ingrains in its players.
