I had a talk with a 12 year old at the park yesterday that made me rethink gaming

I was sitting on a bench at Riverside Park when this kid came over and told me I was wasting my life grinding for loot boxes. He said he stopped playing because the game was designed to keep me angry not happy. Is it true that these companies hire psychologists to make us keep playing?

@jamiew53 is absolutely right, it breaks my heart that kids see this before we do.

They absolutely hire behavioral psychologists to optimize engagement, not fun.
