At the beginning I thought it was a joke, because I can't believe this can really happen! Then I looked at the source and now I'm really surprised. I knew things like that happened in some countries, but not in Greece! Geez, that sucks! Especially for those who go there and are not aware of the law! They risk to find themselves in some big trouble for not knowing this silly law! It seems some governments keep on accusing videogames of being responsible of all their troubles. I wonder if they actually know the difference between a simple videogame and gambling

I'm sure this comes from people who absolutely know nothing about videogames in general.
