Do alarm bells ring or not?

You're acting as if you didn't go back behind the back of your parents to do stuff you wanted to... Like to go to the arcades.

Brain circuitry evolves with age, with human maturation.

Money talks...

We need more education on math(probability and game theory), sales strategy and involved psychology tricks( FOMO, door in the face, etc), financial/budgeting literacy and planning like you teach how to eat healthy and exercise

Well, the biggest problem with that is that the some of the biggest users of games that employ those tricks are children or teenagers who are too young to be physically and psychologically mature and to have proper impulse control. Like with games like Fortnight, FIFA Ultimate Team, Itch.io, ...

Ultimately you are excusing profoundly unethical and immoral behavior and pushing the responsability on the potential victims, some of which without the mental faculties to resist.

He's right. Bobby's a parasite.

Funnily enough the deal might very well be about The Walking Dead...

Sounds like Sid Meier's Pirates. Have you played that?

True. It's unfortunate. We're socially losing the ability to talk to each other effectively, without resorting to playing the victim, rejecting responsability and hitting back.

Two years ago Will Smith hit Chris Rock because of a joke, and everyone crucified him for that, but through words the developers are hitting back in a childish and rude way as well to Judge.

We really live in an age of snowflakes. People can't just take one on the chin and move on, particularly when it's justified. And even feel the need to hit back making it even worse. Sad times.

Judge made a valid snarky comment.
