Keep in mind that mobile games are employing addictive mechanisms in many other styles of pretty loathsome strategies for hooking users that I don't believe will survive regulation in the next decade. Previous strategies in Las Vegas casinos did not survive such things without being heavily heavily heavily regulated and I believe that is going to be coming to things like pay to win and other types of games where stories of addicted whales dropping tens of thousands per month abound. What is particularly loathesome is that a lot of these strategies have made their way into children's games and it's just shocking considering the amount of regulation that went into 1970s era children's TV programming. I think a lot of adults who are in policy positions who have any exposure to video games are from the 1970s and '80s and '90s where arguably games are made in a by much more egalitarian game designers who just wanted to make a "good game" but the last two decades has seen the rise of amoral mbas taking over game mechanics in search of revenue ar all costs
