Advertising is a drain on society that encourages regular people to choose and act suboptimally.
There are absolutely allowed to be laws around advertising and people absolutely have the right to be annoyed when those laws are not properly protecting them.
Video games are no longer a wild frontier, it's a 50 year old established industry and market that is wildly profitable and absolutely deserves to be legislated into polite and proper conduct.
We absolutely should bitch and moan that meaningful legislation is not being passed on this front.
