      It’s not a gaming addition that’s the problem, it’s that many of these games basically follow the same playbook that casinos do. They’re gambling disguised as a video game.

      It would help the prosecution’s case if there first was scientific evidence of there being such a thing as gaming addiction

      There’s already evidence, and studies showing how u can also develop an addiction (which basically applies to everything and anything).

      But-t we aint talking about games in general, we r talking about those games focused solely on lootboxes and “surprise mechanics” as ubisoft likes to call their digital casinos.

      Im also a gamer dude, and thats why we need to recognize when theres a problem in the industry instead of trying to ignore it.
