  You sure are obsessed with people having fun in only your proscribed manner.

    Nah, I’m obsessed with corporations not ruining kids lives just to get few more dollars.

    Also, please, stop putting words into other people’s mouths.

      Your premise would be true if kids were compelled to spend money. But I watch my kids’ spending habits like a hawk. If what you were saying were true, I’d notice transactions being made.

      Which leads me to believe that you’re either exaggerating or deliberately engaging in moral panic because others are having fun in your non-preferred way.

      My kid has spent more money on new Switch games than Roblox.

        So because you do it correctly, everyone else should get fucked or what? Like, you know how many people have bad parents?

        So, congrats, your kids won’t suffer from that (or maybe they will once they have their own money because the path way of “spend a $1, get an in-game item, get an instant rush of feel-good hormones” is forming even with moderation). But other kids may, unless of course you think that it’s somehow their fault they have shitty parents.

        So no, I really don’t want this around kids whose lives will be ruined just so your kids can have a fun time (which they can have in other ways, including other games).
