I was pondering questions when I came across the question "Is Gaming Fair?".

Quite an odd question in it's own right, correct? When gaming began, was it fair?

I say, ofcourse. All game companies were jolly and "fair". Anybody who's anybody enjoyed games. It wouldn't take long before the gaming industry would get ugly, very ugly!

Is gaming fair now?

I say, hell no! all gaming companies are vying for your "well spent" small fortune. Game companies will almost go to any lengths to gain a sale.

What's next?

Imagine if gaming companines used Sumbliminal Advertising? This would reek havoc worldwide. Thank god it's been banned for over 20 years!

So, anyone have any views on this post or what's next in gaming fairness?

Hmmm. Maybe in 20 years Sony will find out who bought Nintendo's Gamedodecahedron instead of their Playstation5 and send them letterbombs disguised as leaflets advertising Donkey Kong Racing 4.
