It would never happen. Because then they'll lawyer up to fight "what does reasonable mean".

And I predict that they'd say well if a whale is going to pay for it, they would imply that the assumption is that that person works 40 hours a week thus does not have time to play. Does a reasonable amount of time to play the game to earn something is then a full-time job.

Which is absolutely absurd. But the name of shareholder profits that's exactly where they'll go.
