Your "being bled dry" is the other person's "fun game I throw a few bucks at every now and then". What gives you (collective, not anexprogrammer) the moral authority to determine who should be playing what in what way?
And then advocating for government intervention on top of it?
This seems like legislating personal preference to me. Most of the moralistic arguments about game design tropes were already tried in the 80s-90s when the arcade was still a thing, and IMO, they're just as busted now because we're not talking about gambling.
