But yeah I could see playing a “slot machine style game” lower your inhibitions and lead you to play an actual slot machine, especially with kids. “It’s just a game, what’s the harm, I’ve played this before, it’s only a few bucks.”
I am against actual scam games too but I don’t see embracing addictive mechanics from gambling as a positive and it will only obfuscate and blur the line between the good games and scams.
Do shooting games normalize killing people? Is someone going to get their first experience with slot machine mechanics through a video game?
Then be against the games that actually are scamming people. Do you have evidence for your slippery slope mentality?
No shooting games don’t obviously.
