Remember MySpace? Not so long ago, practically every teen in the world was on it –- and then many left for Facebook.

Almost everyone I know who loves video games — myself included — is broken in some fundamental way. With their ceaseless activity and risk-reward compulsion loops, games also soothe broken people.
