Okay, so are we claiming then that video games are for children? That was my original question.

  I don't think the claim is video games are (only) for children, but the claim is that a not insignificant number of the viewers/players are children. Advertising cigarettes in a superman comic doesn't mean comics are only for kids.

    It does though, if your argument is that the advertising was targeted at kids. Is the argument here that, by virtue of being on a stream about a video game, the advertising is necessarily therefore targeting kids? Because that's only the case if video games are for kids. If they're not for kids, which is all I hear when I talk to an adult about video games, then it's harder to draw the clear bright line some folks here seem to presume. Or are we now saying adults shouldn't be allowed to gamble too?

      so you think loot box gamble mechanics are targeted at adults? You seem to want to define targeting very narrowly, curious to know what you think about candy cigarettes or a cartoon camel…

        Yes, why wouldn't they be?
