At least Diablo is easier to quit than games that literally condition players into a gambling addiction. But all this is easier said than done.
I mean Diablo is pretty addicting too lol, one of my friends dropped out of school for Diablo. Then again, one of my friends almost dropped out of school for Modern Warfare 2 - not that it wasn't fun of course (most fun CoD imo).
Yeah, but grinding loot for free doesn't cause the same amount of harm as compulsively spending on lootboxes.
