    Aren’t GACHA games particularly predatory for folks with autism?

    Like, I definitely get the “haha! finally, a one-size-fits-all world coming back to bite you all in the ass!” sentiment. But I seem to recall autistic kids uniquely vulnerable to video screens that promise continuous rapid engagement.

      Autistic kids vulnerable - perhaps.

      Uniquely vulnerable to continuous rapid engagement of gacha gaming? God no. It’s bad for all kids, adults too - but they get to make their own informed decisions.
