      You could just sell the game at a flat cost. You know, like they use to and still do. If you want a “Live Service” game, just sell a DLC/Expansion Pack every few months.

        That would still be taking money from kids. One would assume marketing is involved so that’s tricking kids into making a purchase.

        My solution is simply stop letting kids have video games. If we want to censor things, let’s censor them.

          No. That would be taking money from the parents when they purchase the game. The kids would only be playing the game and so long as there’s no store front in the game, there’s no problem.

          Would you ban kids from riding bicycles because stores sell them?

            So where, then, are kids getting money for gacha, if parents are buying games in your alternative world?
