"every video game company" = Epic Games, and mostly because they don't like to pay overhead for their Fortnite loot boxes that most parents wish they could have some control over. I don't have allegiance to either company mostly because they don't care about me, just my money.

They used to? At least Rocket League had them for a long time. Unsure how long after Epic purchased it they had them though.
