There was actually a weird case with something like that in Crown Casino in Melbourne (Kakavus v Crown - http://www.australiancontractlaw.com/cases/kakavas.html)

Kakavus had signed one of those forms, and applied to Crown later to let him gamble again - giving them assurances that his addiction had been concluded. They restored his ability to gamble, and over a course of a year turned over (and lost) a staggering amount of money.

Kakavus sued Crown, claiming that they acted unconscionably, and that they exploited his disability as a problem gambler.

The High Court dismissed the claim (see summary at http://www.hcourt.gov.au/assets/publications/judgment-summaries/2013/hca25-2013-06-05.pdf). It's worth having a look at.

Hi Ellen! I absolutely loved your work in Portal.

I'm curious - are there any games that you've turned down that you've later regretted?

If I may also indulge in a second question... Which operas (that you're yet to sing) do you really really want to do?

Do other countries have the same issues bees dying as the US do? Has (for instance) Australia being so geographically isolated prevented the same problems from occuring?

What is the best reason to play SimAirport instead of Airport CEO?

I'm in Melbourne, Australia - and I've observed that a lot of the architecture that made Melbourne's CBD (Downtown) beautiful and unique seems to be being developed into generic apartments and offices - the former which nobody seems to actually live in. Is this genericisation something you've observed elsewhere, and do think there is a way of preserving a city's visual identity whilst growing?
