> As a game developer myself, I think young kids should not be able to make purchases on their own.

As a gamer, I don't think they should ever feel the need to purchase anything with real world money in a video game, even with a parent. Purchasing the game should be the last time a parent ever has to worry about spending actual money on it.

A one time payment for an ongoing service is not sustainable. Infrastructure and content isn't free, the same way you don't pay a one time payment for netflix.
