    Pedantic incoming: Americans reading "this was tabled" may think it means it was shelved, put away, discarded, etc. But in the UK and EU, tabling something means to bring it up for discussion. The opposite of what they think it means.

    Go a step further and outright ban them all for adults too. Loot boxes, virtual currencies, pay to win, just abolish it all.

    If there's extra purchases, they should be displayed in real-world monetary value and show exactly what you get. You should gain ownership and if the store wants to revoke access, they must provide full refunds.
