    But think about the CEO’s freedom of abusing gambling addicts outside of a safe environment with virtually no regulation and that can be used by kids and teens!

    I actually wouldn’t have anything against gacha games if they all were marked as Adult-only, even the most dumbass parents would think twice about buying EA FC if it had the AO rating.

      And not only AO, if it included the same required gambling-warnings other gambling system have to show every time they so much as mention their name.

    Probably because CCP wants other countries’ citizens to be addicted to games but not their own.

    How else would they have 9-9-6 model if Chinese youth started going down the path of Japanese hikikomoris?
