Comment on WHO says video games are “digital heroin”parent

Comments

The three most addictive categories in my opinion, and in no particular order, are mobile games, competitive games (League of Legends, DOTA, Overwatch), and MMOs (World of Warcraft, EVE, Guild Wars, RuneScape).

You are correct that games like Bloodborne and Minecraft won't be a problem for most people, but for some they certainly will be. Any game that can be described as fun for some segment of the population will also be addictive to a small subset, because the same qualities that make it fun make it addictive to some people.
