I was just thinking about the instant gratification subject. I have a son who is 13 and basically quit playing Destiny due to it's repetitive nature and the grind process involved. My son has been diagnosed with impulse control disorder ( the I want everything easy and right now) particularly when it comes to video games. I started on the NES and Mario Bros. Back then the gaming industry not only was trying to recover from a major collapse but they also didn't have the internet as a crutch. Today a lot of gamers and gaming companies are just plain lazy.

Your son is smart, just like my 16 year old brother who is in high school and quit playing within 15 minutes of playing the damn game.

Yeah I think you get what i'm saying, Destiny is a dumbed down grind to appeal to the younger crowd but even my 13 year old son and your 16 year old brother think it's too dumbed down.

Wait. Is that really a disease or is that short hand for what our consumerist society is becoming.

I know you're joking. He has impulse control and social anxiety disorder. Tested by Doctors. Ironically he was being treated for ADHD and the test showed him not to have that.

Ah yes. The overall jump is always "your kid has add/adhd!" Until you get a proper doctor. -blam!-ing assholes.
