MMOs especially are addictive but at somepoint you realize that constantly being in empty lobbies, paired with randoms or desperately searching for some new clan... It ain't actually fun.

And that's like the main lure of some games, the community/social side. Once you find some place else to fill that human need, then all addiction disappears and you move on.

Video games can be addictive, especially with a strong sense of progression or social interaction. I used to spend too much time on MMOs, constantly grinding for that next upgrade or trying to keep up with friends in guilds. Looking back, I wasn't even enjoying it half the time. It just became a habit. Once I started focusing on other hobbies, the pull of those games faded a lot.

These days, I mainly play shooters like CS2, but I keep it more casual. I still trade skins occasionally because it's a fun way to upgrade my inventory. SkinsMonkey has been great since it's quick and secure for trading.
