5 Creepy Ways Video Games Are Trying to Get You Addicted

Hmm... Bullshit.
[EDIT] And now, after reading the article...
I don't really understand what's "Freaky". We already know we're collecting virtual stuff over and over again... I... Don't get this. Whatever.

haha you're clueless, you had already made you mind up before reading it. Shows how bright you are

I hope to god nobody takes anything written in Cracked seriously...

taking videogame addiction seriously

A Cracked link? No way, I'm not clicking that. I wanna sleep this night.
And, yeah, I've read that one. Was probably pretty funny like nearly everything else there, don't really remember. So, what's your point? :P

i see this forum's problem, as to why it's so damn slow. everyone's a thread critic. i mean, god damn.

The problem with calling Skinner Box "Creepy" and "lazy" of developers to implement is that we, as gamers, all know it exists in one shape or another and enjoy it. Yes, we are addicted in trying to collect every item and stuff... It is nice to have variety a goal to strive for. Yes, we know that monsters drop loot sometimes that we want. We WANT TO kill the monsters, but this way there is a real purpose in doing so, it gives us a reason to not feel like we are wasting time. This whole skinner box shit is taken out of context. It isn't making us slaves, it is just a way to keep people doing tasks. The reason for that varies, but it isn't always bad.
