It seems incredibly disingenuous for people to shove "gambling" and "children" in the discussion.
There is no form of gambling or rng in this system, no lootboxes or spins like you see in CS2, the items are up for sale and you can buy them directly.
Is it unethical? Debatable. Is it targeted AT children? No not really and I don't see how people make that connection other than using it as a moral bargaining chip.
Most developers (aside from the Pedophile ones from Roblox and the likes)
Ignoring the rude comment, where would 'most developers' come from? Because every other platform uses FOMO and much worse, Roblox, UEFN, Metaverses, FiveM, Gmod, mobile games in general but I don't see developers shying away from working on those.
