He has now outlined a plan for implementing some protective measures against gambling elements in video games.
The videos below detail out his thoughts in how these laws must be implemented. It’s a fascinating first glimpse at law making that is sure to define the gaming industry going forward, and I would highly recommend that you watch them.
