      Id rather not because anytime the children argument is used it feels like government officials see it as an opportunity to further infringe upon privacy. Would probably push for real ids online and having to give identification cards to companies to play games. And not like companies are known for the best security practices.

      Fuck them kids. This is a scam perpetrated against adults. They’re the ones with fat wallets ready to be siphoned.

      Games making you value arbitrary nonsense. That is what makes them games. There is no ethical form of attaching a real-world price tag to that fiction.

        That is simply not true, why would you think that? Lots of young teans and kids play cs. My entire friends group were into cs and the genre starting at around 12.

        When I use to play many years ago anytime I smurfed my matches were full of kids.

          I 2nd this. I was playing CS 1.6 around that age. Although lootboxes weren’t a thing back then and you could download and use your own skins from sites like gamebanana and have custom sprays…

          Sometimes, I miss the older days. Just with better internet.
