Cold turkey? (Destiny)

However, I do weekly game nights with my crew. We pop on and do Crucible. We do Trials. We Raid if we feel like mixing it up. We get on other games half way through the night, or we get on other games to start the night before finishing it off with Destiny. Even if the game is 85% empty calories, you can still do the fun things with your buddies, have a good time with them, and keep the overall play to a minimum.

Yeah this is my main feeling about the game overall. The "empty calories" or whatever you want to call them are mostly when you decide to keep playing when there isn't anything left to do. The fact that the actual moment to moment gameplay is so good (and the people to play with so awesome) is what keeps most of us coming back, not the "addictive" mechanics (I use quotes because I've never had an issue with playing when I don't want to play). But hey, if people like Cody think they are being abused by the game, yeah take a big break, or quit, no reason to keep playing a game if you think it's hurting you.

This post was a lot more meandering than I intended.
