Do you feel an obligation to spend your time playing Destiny

You use the word obligation- if Destiny feels that way to you (or any video game for that matter) you should stop playing it for a bit.

To me, obligations aren't fun. They are something that I am required to do. Destiny or any other game should be fun or something you want to do, not something you feel you *need* to do in a compulsive way.

Basically, if you feel you are "obligated" to play Destiny and it begins to interfere with your responsibilities or health- stop playing.

Since you asked, I'm still on Destiny about once a week at this point, for a couple of hours to compete the nightfall or weekly strike. Occasionally I'll hop on for scheduled events with friends. I also make sure I play other games too.

Destiny is fun, but it is similar to gambling to me in a lot of ways. It is designed to get you to keep playing "just a little longer". That's not necessarily a bad thing, you just need to know when to say "I'm done for the day" ;)
