So it's literally a slot machine simulator...
And the guy who made it doesn't understand why it's being taken down for gambling?
So you think an FPS should be taken down for murder?
No because that's not killing anyone.
But a slot machine simulator is still gambling even if it doesn't really pay out.
So a slot machine simulator getting banned in countries that ban gambling makes perfect sense.
But the creator apparently thinks it's because those countries just love capitalism so much...
I don't know what's hard to understand
Present evidence that fake gambling causes real gambling. Not evidence that it actives dopamine receptors. Actual gambling.
Fantasy and fiction don’t cause maladaptive behavior. One day society will accept that this is still true for audiovisual media, just as it had to be slowly accepted for music, just as it had to be slowly accepted for books.
This is like saying meteorologists who predict the rain cause it...
