I saw a similar such "blindness" when the lottery came to Texas. People were spending their entire paychecks on tickets, then starving. Many lost their homes and/or jobs due to the addiction. There was a definite spike in crime (quite large) due to people getting hungry and needing to survive, but not knowing how. And even then, many people would still spend every possible cent on those blame tickets!
This game has potentially worse consequences in the sense that folks will walk blindly into dangerous situations (traffic, muggings, rape, etc), but also the effects it has from folks losing their job because "they lost track of time". The Texas lottery is still around. I have no doubt such stupid games will, also.
