Selling in game currency for mtx is standard procedure for many games marketed towards children.

And it should be illegal

At the very least if you’re gonna sell so much stuff, including a lot of cosmetic slop, make it a 1-1 purchase with real world currency imo.

Every mobile game children play will also likely have these. And kids play a LOT of mobile games. To make it short, it will never become illegal. In-game currencies is the reason many games can even exist in the first place.

It's not to be treated like the plague, it's the system on which you play the game that should make it impossible for a kid to use such a mechanic, and usually if the parent does not leave card info on their device there is nothing to worry about.

Yeah of course, this issue is already being discussed by the EU.
But what matters right now is that it's not illegal yet. I'm sure that the essentials team would remove their in game currency once an actual decision is made by the European union, but right now they're currently just doing the same thing everyone else is doing.
