And later you had the satanic D&D. Every generation seems to pick their moral panic and then engages in "unintentional concern trolling" over it. The people mean well, but low quality evidence shouldn't be good enough to condemn things.

D&D isn't designed to be addictive, and hasn't been used to psych-profile its users or influence elections.

    Just because it's good doesn't mean it's addicting.

      Are we getting to the point where any enjoyment of anything is viewed as an addiction and a sickness? Is the concept of a game just being fun that alien?
