Not just youth! The older ladies at my work are candy crush/royal match fiends. They are hooked... The problem is we socially dont view it as gambling (which it is), coupled with the fact its designed to be addictive. There isnt a social stigma or support yet to stop playing and break the cycle

Fire Emblem Heroes. The game portion was nearly perfect pocket FE. But of course that was all just a wrapper for the gacha, and it only took a few months of playing before I cracked open the wallet. It's just a few bucks, the game was free, what's the harm? Things just went downhill from there. Rationally, I knew it was madness. I kept a spreadsheet tracking spend and results. And I knew that odds of rolling someone new went from bad to worse the more complete my roster got, but the hooks were in deep. It got BAD. Took me a year and a half to delete my account, and just as long to dig myself out of the financial crater my face made.Yeah, that's how it goes. Glad you got out when you did.
