    People need to learn that drinking is bad. It’s a good idea to teach that as soon as possible. If a 12 year old kid can maybe drink $50 down the drain until a functional parent notices.

    On a more serious note, in your world, what are kids with shitty parents supposed to do? Isn’t it a little bit of society’s responsibility to ensure that it isn’t easy for kids aren’t chasing the next big win?

      They are not supposed to do anything and I never said that. That is part of kid agencies to individually detect and combat these things.

      Oh Mr Politican don’t give me the “Think about the children” talk with no other practical solution then introducing a surveilance state.

      Totally stupid idea that the Netherlands implemented a decade ago: (paid) Lootboxes are illegal in the first place. Problem magically solved because guess what: No “gambling” in the first place.
