      I assume simulated gambling like in FF7 would be part of it. Anything that uses slot interface to grant a reward but doesn’t have any tie to currency might be fine.

      As much as the ESRB fucking sucks ass and can go burn, at least it isn’t a government agency and has to at least play nice enough with the industry and consumers in general.

      I don’t think any industry can really be trusted to self-regulate in the long term.

      You’re right.

      Next Mario game should have Mario smoking crack, because it’s something we should also show children is a normal and acceptable part of life.

      If it’s with real money it’s gambling. I’m perfectly okay with it.
