MODERATORS
I'm gonna have to disagree. As somebody who was an Overwatch addict, these games are designed to effectively be like drugs. They are not meant for children and shouldn't be purported as such.
These are casinos playing in simple.
In fact, it's much less incentivized for a game that is one and done, even multiplayer titles if they are a paid game.
