Better ban Windows, then. It ships with a app called "Solitaire", which uses poker cards that "resemble the aesthetics of gambling".

Won't somebody think of the children??



> Better ban Windows, then.

Yes. No need to qualify it. Windows simulates gambling every time a new version comes out and it asks you to upgrade!


Gambling with Klondike solitaire is actually a thing some casinos offer; you buy the deck for $X per card (e.g. $52) and get paid $Y for each card you get to the foundation (e.g. $5). IIRC, some versions of windows solitaire even offered that style of scoring.


I would suspect if someone tried to ship a full windows OS on the Google play store, that would also be banned for trying to break the app sandbox.
