I saw so many people in another instance relating this to shaming people for avocado toast rather than these games exploiting gambling addiction.

I felt I was taking crazypills. In what world does this headline and article not scream "These games are ruining lives because of extremely manipulative marketing tactics.

I assume the people who took this article as a personal attack are part of the 19%, but doesn't want to realise they have a very serious problem.
