          Addiction is a disease. No amount of parenting can prevent it. You know what could? Regulating corporations :)

            Exactly! They should start by banning porn games. Then lgbtq games that corrupts our children. Then any political opposition. Only then will we live in a free and safe society. /s

              Porn and lgbtq games are not the same as gambling. You’ve used a false equivalency fallacy
