Good for them. There are controls for kids and if some people subsidize the rest, I don’t have a problem with that.
Some people taking the tab for the rest isn’t new. Some people have more money than sense, that’s alright.
These games are high quality entertainment, if some people want to spend money on them, that’s not a bad thing.

There are teams of people whose entire job is to make the IAP as addictive as possible. It's not fair to say that someone should just "be less addicted" to buying them.

Regulating the kids by banning them completely is like a nuclear bomb in a mineshaft.
It should he easier to stop children spending money on them but equally I don't mind adults spending their money on new things. A new Fortnite skin or dance etc. does have a cost to produce (I am not in favour of PTW-style microtransactions though)
Where do you think the money comes from, then? Ultimately, your `fantastic' experience comes at the cost of innumerable singular sites of suffering from the children and addicts _who do_ buy them.
