    Furthermore, this only theoretically protects kid, but fuck people with grambling addictions i guess…

      Some things are preventative. There’s plenty of studies that show that the likelihood of developing a gambling addiction is higher for kids.

        I think the problem is less that the legislation is targeted at children and more that it is very easy to circumvent. Unless they start enforcing mandatory age verification for every game / gaming service that is, but even then you could just buy an account or game keys.
