Very interesting read - thanks for posting!

It was only a few days ago that I was talking to a friend about the Greek gaming ban, and speculating on how/why it failed and if it was ever truly implemented, so thanks for a first-hand perspective!

What a stupid law whoever thought that out.

What's more stupid are the boomers citizens that agreed with said law and claimed that actual arcade video games (like Pac-Man) are a form of gambling. Reminds me when USA puritans tried to ban pinball machines for being a form of gambling.
