"Chu spoke about how developer Blizzard goes about crafting a story that can only be conveyed through the multiplayer mode, explaining that it's difficult but nonetheless a vital part of the game."
What a crock. Overwatch's in-game story is irrelevant and practically nonexistent. And I'm not about to go watch some videos or read some comics to understand it.
Well when society becomes addicted with things it tends to degrade, because, as in the case of MMO addiction, responsibilities are put on the back burner. I don't think any form of addiction is positive. It means there is a lack of self control and that one's priorities are backwards.
In the case of any addiction, there is usually need for help from someone else to break it and get back to living a balanced life. So, yes, let people do what they want, but try to help them if you notice signs of addiction.
