As someone who has anxiety about collections/completion (Destiny)

by someotherguy, Hertfordshire, England, Friday, October 18, 2019, 10:25 (1870 days ago) @ MacAddictXIV

Its a very common side effect of general anxiety disorders, and I am getting help.

I also have a personal rule about not supporting that kind of business model.

Offloading the responsibility onto me to seek help however doesn't change the fact that the business model is designed to apply additional pressure from external social factors and influences. Which yes does include intentionally taking advantage of people with anxiety or other mental health disorders, and can have extremely negative effects.

Obviously Bungie is not responsible for anyone's mental health, but opting in to protifing from it (and intentionally making their game less enjoyable to do so) makes me uncomfortable for what i'd hope are pretty obvious reasons.
