Why can't we just go the Japan route? Not even person under 21 is a reckless ten year old who drops thousands on Angry birds 32.
For anyone not familiar, Japan basically places a limit depending on the game. For example, a game will have 5000 'points' that you can use to buy microtransactions with. Once you spend the equivalent of X points (typically hovering around equal values), then you have to wait until the beginning of the next month.
I think it'd be a better solution instead of an outright banning. the labels however aren't too shabby of an idea - it'll help the uneducated know what games they're getting for themselves and others |
The government is controlling how you spend your money? No thank you.

...That's completely incorrect.
They aren't 'controlling' your money. They still allow microtransactions but make companies state the odds of randomly generated results (loot boxes and whatnot) and place limits to prevent addictions or whales from being common.
This isn't 1984 - we aren't going to die because Japan realizes how dangerous microtransactions are.
