Fuck the parents, absolutely.
But put every single executive at every company with lootboxes in prison for the blatant unregulated gambling they're putting in games.
Physical dependence isn't the real issue with hard drugs, either. If it was, supervised detox would be an actual resolution instead of having almost no success. The brain chemistry being abused in gambling and gaming addiction that modern gaming companies deliberately instigate is exactly the same as it is with crack and meth. The dopamine doesn't start as strong, but it's identical otherwise, and identical in an addict.
