I am surprised you didn't talk about how this is specifically targeted at kids. NPR ran a bunch of stories about this that just died in the Trump Era. It hit national news in the US when that story about a kid spending $10,000 hit. BTW, excellent as always. This doesn't affect me but I have a deep hatred of spending money and then having more crap marketed at me. This is more and more common.

I meanb, that is also a group of people impacted, but today I wanted to talk specifically about disabilities, because this is a show about helping people with disabilities play games. There has been a lot of mainstream coverage of kids and microtransactions, a lot less coverage of disabled adults.
