Avoid video games that use extrinsic motivation. A video game should at least mostly rely on intrinsic motivation, meaning that the playing of the game itself is the fun part, not the reward you get for playing the game. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay, but you want to earn lootboxes, you’ve fallen into the intentionally exploitative system operating within so many games nowadays, and you need to find another game, because you’re not having fun.

It doesn’t sound serious, but this kind of thing can make depression way worse if you’ve already got depression.

This post got me to stop playing Overwatch and I’m eternally grateful.

where would games that tell you your motivation rather than let you find your own motivation be? like OoT vs majoras mask? OoT has characters tell link hes the one that needs to beat ganondorf on a regular basis while in majoras mask your shit gets stolen and when you get it back you actually see how bad shit will be if you just let it happen.
