AI players that players think are human and consider their “friends”… these AI players have good games and bad games, are sometimes offline to “work” or to “take care of some family matters.” Game Matchmaking engineered to ensure most players stay at a winrate to maximize addiction. AI players that grief and rage quit. All real, all part of many games where the real game is gaming the gamers.

Best way to break video game addiction… have the addict first realize they are simply being gamed.
