This doesn't affect me (yet) as I don't play any games with paid loot boxes (ew), but this is gonna be the age verification shit?! This sets a troubling standard for privacy and security. I guess it had to happen where I live as well.

The parents should be the ones that don't let their kids to pay for stuff in video games without permission, or at least give them a budget they're allowed to spend on video games, i guess.

Shit should be banned across the board not just for kids. Idk why the fuck authorities are obsessed with kids.

It's so they can say "protect the children"
