> I'm really not sure where I stand on the issue. One side of me says that "it's his money, he can do what he wants" whereas the other side says that society should protect it's weakest, and this man clearly has a gambling problem. A point of clarification: It wasn't his money, it was his employer's money which he was already stealing. While the game certainly rewards spenders and that sort of business model raises some ethical questions, to say this guy has a problem seems off the mark just because he didn't spend 1 million of his own, hard-earned dollars, he spent 1 million stolen dollars that he likely would've stolen anyway and spent on something else equally unfulfilling. He didn't have a value attachment to the money because it wasn't his, so spending it on something dumb like this game wasn't difficult. I feel like it's similar to one time when I got $100 in game credits for Origin and blew it all on Mass Effect 3 weapons packs. Normally I wouldn't spend that money but it was a gift and I didn't want anything else Origin offered at the time. No value connection beyond the sentimental, so spending it in a silly way didn't feel strange to me. Now if we come across some minor CEO who gets bankrupted by one of these games...that's something more in line with what you're talking about.
