Shows how we need to stop this predatory shit. But I guess this is not going away ever again, it’s too ingrained into free2play and too easy to work around any restrictions.
We could make any game with in game currency and real money 18+ for a start. Then they’d still have skin DLC and find ways around that. It’s not helping that they prey on kids with subscriptions to gain “free” skins either. I honestly see no solution. To have parents required to monitor their kids 24/7 doesn’t work. To simply let these companies keep going and give a “lesson” to the kids/parents, can’t be the solution either.
Honestly gaming is fucked outside of indie games now, we see them start with monthly subscription to get all FOMO DLCs, we can tell we’ve reached end game capitalism. (Source: Paradox DLC subscription)

To have parents required to monitor their kids 24/7 doesn’t work.
And this assumes that 100% of parents would agree this is something that needs to be stopped. There will always be parents who don’t mind this, so it’ll never happen.
