This is absolutely atrocious... Nothing but a scheme for the Greek government to have an extra scource of income. I'm sure that the same kind of conservative fools that are ranting about video games in this country over there aren't exactly displeased either. This is despicable!!

And what REALLY pisses me off is that American lawmakers from the bible belt or some damn place looking to BAN video games are going to be able to cite this as a precedent!

I'm going to do all that I can to see this law repealed. The conservative majority shouldn't be able to do this under the thin lie of "policing illegal gambling machines"!
