Okay but what about this: https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy0974

Pretty sure it's a legit government website right ?

And here is one of the paragraphs that says:

The expanded GL tackles the following key issues:

Adds covered categories of software/services to include social media platforms, collaboration platforms, video conferencing, as well as cloud-based services in support of such services, as well as tools that incorporate communication functions and are often included with authorized items or services (e.g., online maps, e-gaming, e-learning platforms, automated translation, web maps, and user authentication services)

Im pretty sure "Gaming" is included.

So what's this restrictions all about EA ?
