(This is good: I play and enjoy Genshin but they're using every single psychological trick to get you to spend money to gamble and that kind of shameless shit shouldn't be put in front of children who don't have sufficient experience and developmental time to not get totally taken.)

Yeah, there's a reason we don't let children into casinos. Putting cute cartoons in the casino on their phone just makes it worse, if anything.

this should have to go through the same regulations as casinos. although that would probably just mean no official release or support for Canadians

I never played Genshin but I did check out ZZZ for a minute. The gacha element was just too intense and it reminded me of games from 15+ years ago that used similar mechanics.

Anything more specific they do more than any other Gacha game?

Yes. They are bigger. It sends a message to the entire predatory ecosystem. Which would not happen if they went for a smaller Gacha game.

Other than that, no, let's give them fines too.

I don't think so, no. At least nothing I've noticed, but they're also not being any better than any other gacha game, either.
