Blame the US for declaring that US minors are too stupid and US parents too neglectful to pay attention to what is purchased online.
They have to kick off kids from their game, legally, and nearly all mobile and online games that have any way to spend real money will be doing the same within the next year.

Good. Gambling is illegal for minors under the age of 18.
Most of the game isn't gambling, to pretend otherwise is just silly. It's like being one of those idiots that pretend counterstrike is gambling.

Largest simp/grindwage DB ever
Yeah because they intentionally sexualise their extremely youthful characters
... And promote gambling.

Ha. I hope it kills it.
Deleting friends lists seems pretty extreme for being late to verify your age? What age are they requiring? 18?

Killing off your largest player base. Smooth.
People say that, but kids under 16 probably aren't the majority of people spending thousands in gachas. They usually don't have money, save for the ones who steal their parents's credit card.
No, but kids under 16 are hooked into the content drip on their favorite social media. This significantly impacts the drip, a big part of online gaming is sharing what you have or have done through YouTube, TikTok, etc.
Everybody wants to be a content creator. Nobody wants to be a content creator in default skins.
It's those under 13 required to be deleted, those under 16 just purchases restricted. And even if they were banned, that doesn't mean they won't come the moment they turn 16 either.
Any way you look at it, this effects the drip. It's not franchise ending but it definitely hurts.
Yeah, but it's not gonna kill things off either.
