People on HN are not willing to accept that these games are highly tuned psychological products that induce addiction.



I'm 100% willing to accept it. I feel like the people who aren't are the types who get extremely defensive about gaming in general. Imagine feeling so attacked that you have to try to claim that DoTA taught you "entrepreneurial skills".

Everyone has hobbies that are time-wasters to an extent. It isn't the end of the world if someone has the opinion that this one habit might be addictive.
