They dont. They vote with you to abolish this shit.

In an ideal world, I agree with you.
But in the real world, it ain’t gonna happen, so you have to do your best to make your children capable of functioning in their own interest in a mentally hostile environment.

By that definition one could argue you should abuse your children to the maximum possible extent. This is flawed logic imo.
Besides, I‘m talking about mechanics that are borrowed from gambling. Loud „pling“ sounds, overly shiny colors and generally stuff that grabs attention.
This is not something a child needs to grow up. a parent can absolutely be expected to check games for these things before buying them. If others subject the kid to it the parent cant really do a lot but I feel like taking all responsibility isnt smart at all.

I didn’t state that “logic”. Per default I assume that everybody understands that we are talking about everything in moderation. Also I specifocally stated some boundaries in my original statement, ensuring the mental safety of children. I assume no parent in their right mind would push their child of a cliff to make it stronger. But parent let their kids test their physical limits by providing them with a safe environment (e.g. playground or backyard) and adult supervision.
When somebody states “stay hydrated” it is not only pedantic, but also somewhat schizophrenic to reply with "Drinking too much water too quickly you die, by that logic we should all gargle ourselfs to death, so your logic of staying hydrated is wrong. "
