MODERATORS
The problem is a large portion of the "target audience" are literal CHILDREN who not only don't have their own money but can't think on this level & don't understand that they are being scammed.
Yes, but also there are many adult children for whom the same applies.
There is also a lot of indifferent people as well. The vast majority of people online complain about these companies, but they are a minority of players.
If people keep buying those games, that means that they are okay with the model, or the model isn't shitty enough yet.
But it's naive to be in this echo chamber thinking that your opinion applies to the majority of the player base.
