    I’m not trying to compare them on a chemical or scientific level.

    I’m just saying that I was able to quit cigarettes and I have had some friends who are not able to quit video games, so it is at least a little addictive for some people, and those people would not be better served by one more place to play.

      I quit heroin but I have friends that can’t give up coffee…we should remove cupholders from cars while we are at it.

        Hey, congrats! I’m 14 years clean from heroin myself.

        Ok, I can see my opinion is in the minority here. Games in cars seems like a bad idea to me, but I’m not the king of cars.

          Well, you didn’t explain why they’re bad, that’s probably why

          As others pointed out it’s incredibly nice for the times when you’re not doing anything but are in your car, anyway. If the ability to play games is disabled while driving then is there actually an issue?

          Seems like a great way to kill time while plugged into a charger to me, I already do it with my steam deck when I charge my car
