I think there's something really nice about stories that conclude

Agreed! And hopefully they conclude without dragging on first. TV shows specially have this problem. So many endless tv shows with way too many seasons and episodes.

I understand that financially it makes sense to try to milk a succesful show, but I really wish there were more miniseries. My favorite TV viewing experiences have been miniseries (The Night Of, Band of Brothers, and Chernobyl).

Do you think video games themselves are addicting by their nature or is it more a problem where certain people don't know how to cope with real life issues and video games are just too effective as an escape from reality?

Would learning to deal with those issues reduce a person's reliance on video games as a coping method and thus make games less "addicting" or should video game addicts quit gaming altogether to avoid a risk of "relapse"?
