    This type of games are free to play. So a bunch of kids who are friends can start playing at any time even without money. If some of them like the game, they’ll stay as a group for the social aspect.

    I don’t see any wrong in it. Its just different of what I did 30 years ago.

      I’m gonna have to disagree. As somebody who was an Overwatch addict, these games are designed to effectively be like drugs. They are not meant for children and shouldn’t be purported as such.

      These are casinos playing in simple.

      In fact, it’s much less incentivized for a game that is one and done, even multiplayer titles if they are a paid game.
