Serious addiction is always destructive because it carries a cost to the person addicted that can also affect others around them. Sometimes, the thing that the person is addicted to is aided and abetted by operatives promoting that thing. In EVE’s case culpability towards addiction would have to be demonstrated on two levels, one, its grossly intentional and two it’s destructive. I’ve already posted another thread here in this forum that takes a look at addiction in games (see "When the game you love starts hurting you")
You can look there to further explore the topic.
