I am still shocked how many people said this had gambling mechanics.

It did, in the broadest possible interpretation of the term.

In any practical interpretation, it didn't, and it was so silly

Increase the broadness and narrowness of an interpretation enough and you could fit any narrative you want.

Is FIFA a Nazi simulator? Well the nazis wanted only the "perfect" humans, and in FIFA you want the best team.

Age ratings were and are gonna be shit. Big corporations shitting on the small ones. Fuck PEGI it can burn straight in hell.

They're not restrictions though, anyone can buy a PEGI 18 game, it's just a recommendation
