What? This post was about why you should play a video game. A game that many people here say is incredibly addicting. How does that possibly help people stop gaming?
The series is about gaming addiction. After writing about it extensively, we found only 1-5 % of gamers get addicted to gaming, so we don't have to demonize it (GAMES =/= BAD). Therefore, I would argue that if someone CAN MODERATE, it's a really good way to spend some of your free time. Additionally, Factorio can have transferable benefits into your professional life.
