Making the source of your profits be children's value signaling is ... unappealing.

There is a difference between selling a game and giving it away for free so you can sell peer's respect via hats (or whatever). Then your product is children feeling inadequate in a way that can be solved with money which is some sort of sign of the apocalypse.

You could make this argument about anything that is sold to kids, should we have a "you must be this old to ride the capitalism coaster" rule?
