Store credit lets them manipulate you. They can say the minimum top up is $5. Then put the cheapest items at $3. Want two $3 items? You have to deposit at least $10! It goes on and on.

No. Just make it so you add items to a cart and purchase their exact value with real money, no in between, no scummy tactics.

(But if it was up to me, I would ban MTX altogether)
