Interesting to note that in the article, Epic is only mentioned once and for a different reason from what we would expect, for designing nice skins!!!
Nothing is stated about how they’re promoting/pushing their digital offerings to young kids, who are not of age to be able to clearly judge what is good for them and when they’re being tricked by shabby marketing in order to do purchases.
I’ve read that Epic is throttling users who don’t have paid for a battle pass, is not as fast and supportive as it should be with refunds and is dumping a lot of money in sponsorships/prizes so as to attract more young players.
They know what is happenings and I don’t thing this will change :-(
It’s true that society, schools, kids and parents have changed in recent years and that’s why we’re seeing an increase of bullying, which is not helping the situation with how gaming is affecting lives.
IMHO some kind of regulation/stricter rules are needed.
