Around 5 billion people have smart phones, it was a first world problem a decade or two ago, everywhere has them. Hell for the poorest African nations a person is more likely to own a smart phone than a car or fridge.

So where, then, are kids getting money for gacha, if parents are buying games in your alternative world?

That would still be taking money from kids. One would assume marketing is involved so that’s tricking kids into making a purchase.

My solution is simply stop letting kids have video games. If we want to censor things, let’s censor them.

So all games should be free?

We shouldn’t allow children online or playing video games. If we’re going full jack Thompson, let’s go full jack Thompson. No one under 21 gets Internet or games.

Forklift operators yes, construction workers also yes depending on the region. In many areas of the US the majority of construction workers are undocumented workers and thus kept at or below minimum wage. Forklift operators really don’t make a lot of money. Like more than general warehouse labor but even in decent states that tends to be pretty low on the spectrum.
