I'm not sure if your logic there. EV is not a casino. It is random, yes. It takes money, yes. But so do packs of trading cards. So do those little bagged toys LEGO and others sell. So do those toy dispensers at almost every store. Are those latter also 'slot machines' that 'promote gambling'? Gambling is only 'bad' to those who consider it as such. It's a proverbial 'grey area' upon which people will never come to an agreed consensus. Personally, I could care less either way as I'm not a gambler. Can people get addicted and go bankrupt, yes. But humans will find anything to get addicted to. Some are addicted to cocaine, others addicted to Jesus... Kids shouldn't have access to freely purchase [i]anything[/i] without parental consent (from in-game currency, to movies, to new games). If one can do so, that's on the parents and their lack of setting parental controls, lack of proper teaching and discipline, and lack of supervision. If a kid steals money out of their mother or father's wallet and buys a sack of candy, is it the fault of the grocery store for selling said candy? No. It's the fault of the child for stealing, and the parent for not overseeing. You may not like my opinion or in any way agree, that's of no consequence to me. It is perfectly fine if you don't want to think logically or venture outside of your little thought-box. I do pity the shortsighted and close minded.
