I actually don't care about "protecting people." I just think this is a market failure in the same vein as hidden fees. It obscures the real price of the game— a particularly egregious example is that For Honor actually costs $700+, and it creates a race to the bottom where now everyone tries to offer a low cost buy-in while the game is secretly expensive. If you make it so that avenue is closed to everyone then it keeps the playing field level. I have no desire to prevent anyone from playing those kinds of games except as a collective action to change what the market rewards and that's what government is good at. I don't care if you want to spend your money on Genshin, but I do want a games market that fixes the "people say that micro transactions make games worse but they make more money for the company" problem.
