I refuse to let my kids play this game. Their business practice of exploiting children is THE worst.

  Granted, this describes most of gaming today. The target audience of most video games today is actual children with their parent's credit cards and adult children, also with credit cards, who value buying skins and decals over actual gameplay.

  My daughter plays it and had never asked for money to buy stuff in game. I’ve monitored her playing and it’s a really neat platform tbh. I wish I’d had something fun like that to play when I was younger. It feels very Nintendo in the way it tries to build a safe, fun community for kids to inhabit. That is the thing, though: you really should be involved if your kid is playing these things, and ensure you’ve setup good stringent limits. All of my device’s purchases are locked behind fingerprint auth. I’ve definitely done the due diligence of going through all the parental controls and locking everything down.

    "That sounds like a lot of work!"

    You probably don't have any issues because your daughter is well behaved, but fingerprint auth is probably one of the easiest things for a child to defeat - just wait for the parent to fall asleep!

      Honestly if she can nab my fingerprint while I’m sleeping that’s some kind of feat. I’ll wake up to a cricket fart.
