The mother then went on to accuse the games of being "completely predatory" in encouraging spending by younger users. "What grown-up would spend $100 on a chest of virtual gold coins?" looks around nervously. But, in all seriousness, I've spent thousands probably in online purchases (skins, ccg cards, gems, battle passes, etc) and I'm an adult (supposedly). Most of my friends do too (though I'm perhaps an outlier in how thoughtlessly I spend money), so I don't think this is a good argument.
