I hate meta and Google, but looking at this from a broader scale: "How the fuck are you supposed to punish anything that's designed for entertainment, being too good at entertaining you?" Am I supposed to sue Nintendo because Super Smash Bros Melee was so good me and my friends probably spent like 2000 hours playing it? Or maybe sue the ITTF because table tennis is fun as hell and I want to play it every chance I get.

But for real. How are you supposed to impose a tangible limit on how fun or addictive something is allowed to be? Does every TV show have to end with a total resolution so you aren't overly compelled to view the next episode? Did the first run of king of the hill need to be cancelled for being too great to not watch?

Gambling is regulated, this isn't new or a big deal
