Holy shit at all the enablist tools in this thread.
It doesnt matter that the kid was an asshole, and it doesnt matter that the dad didn't know the videogame system enough to know that he should have put parental restrictions on the machine, to prevent a game he already bought, paid for, and all intents and purposes 'owned' from charging him 8,000 bucks for nothing.
For 8,000 god damn dollars, you could buy every major console, and portable, in the past twenty years, and a list of some of the greatest games to ever release on them. Tell me, how, in the name of fuck can some iap bullshit have value that could remotely be considered comparable too, or greater than the past 20 years of the best things that ever happened to videogames?
It cant. Its disgusting exploitative anti consumer garbage, and the only thing more pathetic than this actually existing and bringing in revenue, is how effective the defense response has been cultivated into 'gamers'.
Its like fucking clock work, every, single, time.
I can hear the suits high fiving.
