I used to have a video game addiction. I once sat on my knees for 8 hours playing Mega Man 2 (I could barely unfold my legs afterwards). When I got Diablo in 1996, I stayed up for 40 hours playing it, to the point where I started clicking on hallucinatory demons on the screen. I am so happy I stopped playing video games before in-app purchases became a trend. Destroyed productivity was bad, but the stories about people flushing tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars down the drain terrify me. That could have been me.
