That's a shame. I want someone to do something about live service games so fucking badly. Fuckin exploitative scams that specifically target those with mental health issues, gambling problems, and the neurodiverse.
That's my angle too tbh. Big tech in general has been allowed to colonise our minds to an extent that in my opinion is criminal. Research has always lagged behind tech "innovations" and legislation has been extremely hands off. It would be nice if the tech industry is reigned in. Even stuff like GDPR feels insignificant.
GDPR's first form was actually decent for what it was meant for, but that spooked tech giants, and with their lobbying (or whatever europeans call it) they poked so many holes in it that it's basically a colander with the botton cut out.
