Children addicted to video games ran away from home in the middle of the night to find WiFi when parents turned their internet connection off, says expert::Children have been found sitting by the front door of random homes, desperately trying to tap into the owner’s WiFi connection.
Those microtransactions-laden mobile games employs a whole stack of evil tricks to make sure their users got addicted and can’t miss even a single day not playing.
I’m sure those kids sneaking out of home to find wifi aren’t doing so to play Mario Kart. They’re probably playing one of those free to play mobile games.
No doubt some games manipulate users to increase engagement. This is not addiction. I wouldn’t presume to speculate which games these kids play.
You could make the same ridiculous reductionist statement about casinos.
Are you claiming that the statement is incorrect? Or did you just feel the need to show off an ad hominem fallacy?
