If you play it in moderation, it’s fine. Yes, it is addictive, just like any other game. And yes, it is pointless. I suggest that instead of standing on the sidelines yelling at your abducted loved ones about what they do, you should try playing it with them for once. You might actually (god forbid) enjoy it. And if you show that you are open minded enough to expirement with it, you could surely find a way to persuade them to do something better than running around in digital circles all day.
It’s not worth breaking a relationship, it’s just a speed bump. Try telling the person to take it more in moderation, or better yet, uninstall the game for one week from their computer, so they can experience life without it once again.
As for complaining to them, “this is pointless”, or, “you’re spending too much time on that”—they know. The problem is that they don’t care, so try something else.
That’s just my two cents anyway.
