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?

Assuming insurance covers it. And you only have a 60% chance of having it covered.

That's nice that you enjoy a much less expansive library of entertainment and practically no social interaction. Most people think that's too large of a tradeoff in a world where corpos have all the information about you from birth.

Hope you trust your VPN provider, that's the most common single point of failure given your ISP is collecting and selling all of your data.

You sure they're not wars? The several million dead injured, and enslaved non whites targeted in said wars probably disagree.

Median monthly income in China according to most sources I can find is just 1300-1400 USD. Still, 82 USD for that income is not expensive, and that's for higher end private medical care outside the main healthcare system.

It'd be like an American paying for medical care with a weeks groceries.

...neither of those things were wars, and both of those campaigns were successful by any possible measure.

Yes, you know the dozen billionaires that will be in the executive branching in 3 days, or the hundred or so billionaires that completely control the US government?
