I hadn’t either.

It’s a sequel to star wars episode 1 racer that was released on PS2 however the version used for this is the physical PS4 version which was produced by limited run games in limited quantities.

I’m a little confused. I had always read about dopamine as “the reward chemical” like in the link.

I imagine things are more complicated than that like you alluded to but I had always seen it written as a key part of the brain’s reward system and so makes sense to mention in the context of rewards in games.

Also we really shouldn’t be using drug metaphors in general when talking about games.

This and the title seems disingenuous to me. A dopamine rush or hit is not a drug metaphor but a reference to body chemistry in response to something that happens in a game.

Please correct me if I’m wrong

I doubt that the average PC gamer is commenting on those articles.
