> Human brains have bugs, and anyone going into a casino or a pay-to-win games know what they are going into. (If they don't that's their problem for not doing their own research and using common sense before putting their money)

"It's OK if people's lives are intentionally ruined purely for corporate profits, so long as it's at least partly those people's fault. They shouldn't let themselves be tricked."

> Human brains also have a bug around sugar consumption. I've yet to see selling people sugar or sugar-containing foods/beverages being regulated.

By the way, San Francisco taxes sugary drinks and requires them to have a warning label.

> The real solution is never preventing people from doing things (of course as long as they affect only the person and not the others' rights), instead, it's educating.

These approaches are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps it's best to find a balance between them?

And see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugary_drink_tax .

Also, NYC tried to ban some sales of sugary beverages over 16 oz, thrown out by the courts.

Ruining their lives is a bit exaggeration for playing pay to win games though.

I do not support them, I only hate the idea of banning anything more.

I believe education is the key but never see that done enough. (Not only about these topics but pretty much anything).

Banning should really, really be the last option.
