It's not exclusive to MMO games or anything. Although I do get the addiction of MMO games, I still play WoW but I used to have phases of playing it at unhealthy amounts of time (like over 12 years ago), but only as long as I could afford throwing money away.
The amount of times I've seen beggars show up on social media when a new game launches is ridiculous. Like dude, if you can't afford gaming then you should seriously have other priorities in liffe, and probably spend the time you'd game on more productive things. Like work, to be able to afford stuff like gaming in the first place.
Imagine saving money before a game releases. Oh no.
