The problem is that there is nothing that can be done due to the fact that its all opt-in and is based on ( as the article points out ) psychology. Free to play has gamed the inherit structure of the world wide web.
- LukeB_UK 11y agoGambling is the same yet there are a whole host of things that governments have done to try and help protect consumers.
- wturner 11y agoGambling isn't the same because the money users spend isn't used as a bet for a real-world money return. That is why when this stuff goes to court it gets thrown out.F2P relies on pure psychology and large sums of marketing dollars.
- ZenPsycho 11y agowhat about the gambling apps that, from top to bottom are exactly a slot machine with the only difference being that you can't get money out, only facebook trophies?
- wturner 11y agoAs I said, the reason these things get thrown out of court is because it isn't gambling since no money is expected by the user. If you're asking me a legal opinion I'm not a lawyer. I'm just telling you what I've read. I'm not advocating free to play.
