This entire business model should cease to exist.
Games make you value arbitrary nonsense. That is what makes them games. Directly monetizing that is wildly unethical.
If it is possible for someone to spend a thousand dollars on a single video game, and not even have all possible things in that game, that's a fucking scam.
The game industry is acting like children gambling is a novel concept. What hurts one of us hurts us all.
Children aren't what make this a problem.
