Honestly, we have to give props to Japan for trying stuff nobody else even thought of before.

Last weekend my girlfriend’s nephew was over. He’s 10 — I think? He approaches me and asks “do you know how to buy Robux?” And I answer that Robux cost real money and ask if he has real money to pay for the Robux. He smiles like an idiot and points to his aunt.
I don’t think banning games that use predatory tactics on children is bad, au contraire, I say do it, or force the platform to comply with laws that protect kids from stuff like this.
Now, you’re an adult that enjoys going over the limit of your credit card to buy Fortnite skins or whatever the heck you nice kids do nowadays? I say more power to you! But getting them at a young age when they don’t even make their own money? Sounds predatory to me?
Edit: not saying that I agree with the bullshit reasons Russia used to ban the game.

“you get what you pay for” is not even a thing anymore. Lazy people will just use an LLM and charge you as if they did the actual thinking.
Minion gibberish makes as much sense as most of the dialogue written by George Lucas.
