It has to teach or glamorise. Gambling, that is... yep. It's quite hard to think of an example of where games feature gambling as a plot point but not as a mini-game that's taught about. It feels like they've completely missed the problem people have with in-game purchases and gambling. Playing cards in-game for in-game money is gambling, but the stakes are low - the experience will be there, but it's divorced from real world value. What's your thoughts on this?
