There is an evil enterprise targeting our children at a young age and exploiting them + their parents to gamble thousands away on useless video games.

There is a lot of money in the gaming market. It’s unbelievable. You may say, “yeah I know,” but to actually see the dollars pour in on a weekly basis, it’s staggering. I worked on a certain matter for a certain gaming platform for a corporate litigation matter. The gaming service was a straight cash cow. And yes, in-game/app purchases were a significant chunk.

Game developers and platform providers both are just stuffing pockets with cash at the expense of some parents who would rather defer parenting to a screen than to pick up a glove and go outside and play catch together. My friends are included in this.
