I'm also not quite as optimistic as the parent. However, I do wonder if legislators will step in at some point. Both the gambling and weapon industries, to which this has been compared below, are being regulated. Well, in Europe at least. Just anecdotal evidence, but there seem to be very few weapon owners or people with gambling problems here in Germany.
Edit: Just noticed this comment below, it's already being regulated in Germany: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6088903 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6088903
- Kiro 13y agoHaving worked at a gambling company I can assure you gambling problems are probably as common in Germany as in any other country (FWIW about one third of our support staff was german). Regulations can't really prevent you from playing online, no matter how innovative the restrictions are.
