Should they be regulated? At least for people under legal gambling age?
Here’s the latest article I read today, but there are a lot more like this:
I don’t like or play them. They are just a cash grab.

They should be for adults only. Children should not be allowed to play without parental consent. If one does, the company should be legally required to refund ALL monies collected in cases like the above.
Same. Total rip-off.

They don’t refund if I remember correctly
I think those games that demand cash are only made to rip people off of their money.

You are right, there’s a 60 days refound policy
Look at this, a 6 y.o.
And the company somewhat hides the name and meaning of the charge on your credit card
My son is very addicted to mobile games and reels. But, there is a password requirement when we need to pay for games. Not sure if the kids know the password to make the payment. My son will not know the password. So should all kids.

I think they are terrible tbh. I eslecially get mad when you pay full price for a game only to find microtransactions in it. EA are bad for this.

Mobile games are trash. They are literally psychologically designed to syphon money away from young people who don’t know better or people who have poor self control.
Problem is I’m really not sure much can be done other than informing parents not to leave their credit card details logged on their kids’ devices.
When my brother was like 7 he spent literally hundreds of pounds on games on the PlayStation store and thought our parents wouldn’t realise. He literally cried about how he “didn’t realise it cost money” “I thought they were free” but as someone who has bought games on the same store I know that’s not true. Then about a year later he did the same thing on a different store.
