There's also the section where they describe intentionally skirting laws by using AI to perform actions that would be illegal for a human. This entire presentation feels dirty.

This is a gross deformation of what a game should be. We've hit the point where many applications that claim to be games are more like gambling for electronic rewards, this presentation unabashedly pushes things farther away from the h
