Stories being run by BBC focusing on children gambling and gambling in games. Online casinos being the biggest culprits but online gaming is mentioned too. I think the eventual connection of using RL money to get in game money and then use that in game money to gamble is going to made. Because it’s not just the link to RL money that is the issue, it’s that the habit of gambling (or ‘preying on user addiction’) is being pushed onto kids. I don’t think it’s such a stretch to include things like multi-plasmids. If the habit of gambling on them becomes widespread enough, and especially if people feed their habit by buying in game isk with RL money, it’s going to get more and more attention. We’ve had multi-plasmids for a very short while and we already have people like this: > [@CCP fix your abyssal rng](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/ccp-fix-your-abyssal-rng/153458): > > Why is it that I spend 4bil to roll and not even 1 out of 20 is all green.
