I think there's a case for a corporate class action lawsuit against Neal for employee productivity loss every time every time a new game is published.

- latexr 7mo agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest > There is an urban myth that the release of Dragon Quest III caused a law to be passed in Japan banning the sale of Dragon Quest games or video games in general except on certain days such as weekends or national holidays. When III was released in Japan, over 300 schoolchildren were arrested for truancy while waiting in stores for the game to be released. The rumor claims there was a measurable dip in productivity when a Dragon Quest game was released and although muggings of Dragon Quest titles became so widespread that there were hearings in the Japanese Diet, no law was ever passed.

- portmanteur 6mo agoKamala Harris bragged about enforcing this law against parents in California. That’s the only way that I know that it’s an actual law that gets enforced because I had never heard of laws like this before, and I grew up in US public schools in the South.
