    This stuff is why “it’s optional” and “it’s just cosmetic” are bullshit arguments.

    If you can resist the urge, you’re not the intended target. They don’t make record profits from people who can spend somewhat rationally, they’re a drop in an ocean.

    Horrible, but also really impressive how they manipulate people. Forced engagement in the weekend leagues, resetting the game periodically…the addicts don’t stand a chance.
