If it’s with real money it’s gambling. I’m perfectly okay with it.

You’re right.

Next Mario game should have Mario smoking crack, because it’s something we should also show children is a normal and acceptable part of life.

I assume simulated gambling like in FF7 would be part of it. Anything that uses slot interface to grant a reward but doesn’t have any tie to currency might be fine.

As much as the ESRB fucking sucks ass and can go burn, at least it isn’t a government agency and has to at least play nice enough with the industry and consumers in general.

I don’t think any industry can really be trusted to self-regulate in the long term.
