    This is the same as Trump saying he was just challenging the results of the election.

    Namely, nobody is trying to prosecute him for his legal challenges...and nobody is complaining that games are too entertaining. They are bold strawman arguments that most people see through immediately. "Complete bullshit" is now a common argumentative tactic.

    Unfortunately the more I read the less this seems like a long overdue accounting of the video game industry's hubris and the more it seems like someone with looking for someone to blame for their failson. These companies have literally hired psychologists to come up with ways to more effectively manipulate their players into buying their digital bullshit, and surprise surprise many of the things those psychologists have come up with are basically unregulated gambling.

    I wonder if this is a false flag?
