Heh. Gotta hate it when science makes one face a reality they wish not to.
I wasn't under the impression that this was a competition or that opinion of other members of this forum really mattered all that much. Interesting you would bring this up.Gotta hate it when one person thinks their "reality" is somehow actually reality.
Time to bust out the good ol argumentum ad populam fallacy.
Looks like the poll is in my favor, OVERWHELMINGLY
I wasn't aware this was a competition. Interesting.
I am aware and its one of the worst things about society.We're gotten by interested parties whenever possible.

It is a competition, should the game be banned? It's a competition of how much your side (Because you definitely picked a side, and I think I know where that singular yes vote came from) can get versus mine/anyone who agrees with me.
Sometimes social costs are worth more than mere moneyI have just yet to understand why entire companies should be put to death and thousands of people out of jobs just because they know how to make a great video game.
That is entirely the opposite of American, to kill business and with it, opportunity.
Wow. You are the text book definition of a forum hack. There goes my respect for you.
Anyway back to the point.
Yes that's how reality works. (Which isn't a competition)
What motivates gambling behavior? Insight into dopamine's role -- NiMH explanation of how gambling addiction works.
Lol. I am glad you are so determined to keep your beliefs in the face of factAn article that just allows the weak-willed to feel good about themselves.

Is that what you say to everyone who disagrees with you?
It is basic gaming theory. Another example of games that uses similar mechanisms are RPGs.
That's not the way addiction (or free will) works. The neurochemicals become less stimulating over time, requiring higher doses, strongly influencing or overriding the pre-frontal cortex lessening our ability to make alternative decisions.
Most of the time people can pull away, yesAnd so it becomes increasingly difficult to stop playing and you do it anyway.
This is what Candy Crush Saga does to your brain | Dana Smith | Science | theguardian.com
Candy Crush is basically designed to exploit human neurochemical weaknesses.
This is the sort of mechanism which fuels gambling addiction. As science and psychology becomes more sophisticated, more problems with how the human brain processes information will be revealed, opening the door for more ways to exploit that weakness.
I personally view this as extremely unethical at best as it purposefully undermines free will. What is your take?
Like posting on DP?I'm not into gaming, I have better things to do with my time.

I tend to try to stick to things supported by multiple studies.They are kinda of moronic though.
Them: Here is a study that proves everything we have been saying right.
Anyone with a half of a brain: Ah..why is the study size only forty people? How is forty people prove anything when talking about the entire population of the human race??
Then they come back with study of fifty people and think the point just made no longer stands. :doh
