they're so bad because they work so well on dumb people that are prone to addiction, it's the same shit as putting a bunch of random bullshit near the checkout counter at a store, they know impluse buying is a thing and they literally pay smart people millions of dollars to hack human brains and behavior for profit.
and now we don't even protect the kids from this shit, so fuck it, whatever.
Hasbro stock went up on them combining literal gambling mechanics into their games for children, it is brought up as a positive thing in a earnings call lol
