Americans are so obsessed with money, they forgot about actually living.

My dudes. Money is just a means to an end. It is not the end goal. Wake the fuck up.

I mean, it's not just Americans, it's the whole world. EA, Nintendo, Sony, Riot, Nexon, Tencent, and basically every other major gaming corporation are part of the ESA, who lobbied to kill this exemption. If left to their own devices, corporations will never do anything that could hurt their bottom line.
