Not surprising.

I bet Blizzard does the same thing with their games. I deliberately avoid them so as not to lose even more years of my life in an addictive death-spiral.

I read an article somewhere that indicated Fortnite has a similar effect to children as cocaine to adults.

Not surprised. I suspect it’s been common practice for a while now.

Indeed. I bet even fast food restaurants do it. McDonald’s does have a bit of an addictive taste if not unique.

I’m kind of skeptical about this since Fortnite is a well known clone of PUBG.

McD’s patties are drenched with MSG, which is a taste enchancer and an appetite stimulant. That basically tells your brain “This tastes good. I want more!”
