No, we are talking about parents being “100%” responsible for monitoring their kids, pointing out that’s just ain’t true and outright impossible, doesn’t make me “intentionally dense”, just as you trying to insult me doesn't make your argument any favors.
You don’t need a credit card to purchase them, if you are into video games, it’s something that you should be aware already, pre-paid cards are a thing in any platform nowadays, also, yes, they are playing the video games mostly at home, games that nowhere in the box or website inform exactly what’s being sold in this regard, which is what a lot of people are advocating for.
Mental health is a thing, you know? There are also enough studies on the psychological impact of this sort of shit on brains that are still developing… thus why the regulations and laws don't stop at alcohol or cigarettes, but also on shit such as... you know... gambling.
Edited: Did you know that in a lot of places video games stores are also responsible for not selling +18 rated games to minors?
