Kr basically runs gambling like the lotto: as a money extraction mechanism rather than as the ideal monopoly. yeah goumindong seems to have a fundamental lack of understanding how government gambling monopolies work in the real world. the difference in efficiency between market leaders who have naturally emerged from competition like pokerstars and pinnaclesports and government enforced monopolies run by bureaucrats is massive. basically government run gambling monopolies, for whatever reason, have shown a tendency to ignore things like long-term growth and creating a sustainable gambling ecosystem in short-sighted attempts to maximize profits. like say 10% commission on bets was the standard in a competitive marketplace, a company might be able to come in charging 5% and through growth and scale become the most profitable despite making less money per individual bet. meanwhile the government comes into that same 10% standard market, declares all the other companies illegal, and decides that they will charge 20% and spend nothing on advertisement/customer service since they have no theoretical competition. somehow they are then surprised when growth of the legal market stagnates and the black market that they pretend doesn't exist gets bigger and bigger. | ||

It still happens but it's much rarer. Yea but then you get a host of other problems. Different languages, background music, mic volumes, teamfight chaos, etc. I'd honestly rather take the toxic players I think | ||

Pretty much. But we already knew he literally had zero social awareness, and probably has very little experience abroad. | ||
