There should be more info on how all gambling is basically just a scam. What's worse is gambling in sports video games.
How about setting up kids with gambling mechanics combined with an abusive market that uses proprietary development tools so that the developed skillsets by their child labour force are not usable in different environments?
Can anyone name the multi billion dollar child focused corporation that I'm referencing?
Spoilers, it's Roblox.
Although the entire mobile market makes me believe we are doomed and the government will do absolutely nothing to control heavy investment in and use of manipulative practices. General citizens have no chance when their casual life moments are invisibly combative with multi billion dollar groups that do everything they can to get an advantage over peoples basic subconscious habits and lifestyles.
I see more people defending these practices than protesting them. All the while people are freaking out about the "evil" of AI art tools.
Gambling is just manipulation at this point. generally manipulating and taking advantage of people now is just "good business."
