Yes, and they should go after Roblox /Fortnite next. Fleecing parents so your kids don't get made fun of for "having the free skin" shouldn't be a business model.

Not any different from me guilt tripping my parents into buying me an expensive pair of Jnco jeans back in the day. Without them I wouldn't be cool and other kids would make fun of me! Or maybe they'd make fun of me for wearing those instead of something else the next year, who knows. Social pressure evolves pretty quickly.

Roblox is the only thing I’ve completely banned from my family.

  Can you explain why? I allow my son to play it once per week for about 30 minutes, but I sit next to him the entire time and watch. Why did you ban it?

    I preemptively banned it because: a) It's an excellent lead-gen machine for predators b) Kids trivially trip into (rigged) casinos My kids have an emulator running N64 classics and more next to the tv, no need for them to burn hundreds of dollars on gambling tokens.

    That level of supervision isn’t what I want to do and allowing him to play at all each time turned into no work, no other play, and even waking up in the middle of the night to sneak downstairs and play. It scared the crap out of me, tbh.
