When I was 13 I had a paper route and mowed lawns, and with those earnings I spent about $75 per month on video games and comic books, easily exceeding $500 over a year.

This to me on a surface level this seems totally fine, however I can't help to feel conflicted when that money is being spent on some of the more "predatory" games like gachas, however I'm not sure if it's really too different from kids spending their money on pokemon cards either. Do you feel different about those or would you say it's the same thing?

  • There’s nothing to say it was predatory games. Roblox is a platform with a vast number of games from unaffiliated developers.

    • Oh yeah I should have clarified my post wasn't necessarily aimed at Roblox but rather generally speaking.
