$100/month, so $1200/yr. Assuming the kid plays for a year before losing interest. A decent game with a year of gameplay is maybe $100 at the high end, so this is more like 10x more expensive.
If it gets purchased by Big Pharma, it’ll be a lot more expensive than that. But yeah, I was being far too conservative.
On the other hand, after losing my shit with college kids who want to write papers about “technology addiction,” which doesn’t appear to exist outside a certain cottage abuse (ahem, check notes) “bootcamp” industry, it’s a relief to see the FDA recognize benefits.

Is this going to be like “prescription” pet food? Four times more expensive just for branding?
