Even if you like all 3 of the other things, it doesn’t mean you need it in gaming. It’s not as though porn thinks it needs to blend in other attention competitions. A lot of games have math overlap. Gambling is for conning people bad at math.
In summary, this all seems like bad directions.

Gambling has nothing to do with understanding probability or not.

Of course it does. If you understand probability, you won’t do it.

That’s like arguing that people wouldn’t smoke or do drugs if they knew the effects it has.

The report isn’t trying to say they need to add those thing to gaming.
I don’t understand how this whole thread has misunderstood the report point so thoroughly…
The report is saying those 3 things are now more popular and have a higher amount of attention given to them than gaming and that publishers need to do better in order regain attention.
The prior parts of the report deal with how publishers have effectively cancelled and shut down so much that there is little to play.
