Microtransactions reach new level of hell once thought impossible with buy now, pay later options: "Interest-free biweekly payments or longer-term monthly installments"

I don't understand how the credit card industry is okay with this. Credit cards are unsecured debt that can be discharged through bankruptcy. Not only that, usually tangible purchases can be repossessed. If someone is addicted to an online game and uses their card to purchase digital assets, how are they going to make their money back?
If you know you only have a few months to live could you just max out credit card debt on digital goods to fuck over the credit card companies? There will be no value to recover.
Or drugs, if you can convert it into cash.

Fuck them kids. Children aren't why these bastards are offering financing for this industry-swallowing abuse.
Wise words, stop making kids and let humanity die out in peace

'Yeah, man, voluntary extinction.'

Why not just not play them if you don't like them?
I think that hunting games are not fun at all, but I can very easily address that by just not playing them, which avoids starting a fight with people who do like them. If I decided "I need to tell people to play games as I see best" and impose a ban, I'd be going out and starting a fight with people that just doesn't need to happen.
Personally I'm not a huge fan of slavery, so I don't buy from companies who use it. Wanna guess how good this is at solving slavery?

Don't play games with microtransactions then. (And vote for political parties that might do something about it.)
As long as there are people paying for microtransactions, such shitty developments will continue. -

Basically a loan for buying virtual shit in games. I have heard of nothing more dystopian that this.

The problem here isn't that the games are bad, it's that people are being taken advantage off. A lot of effort goes into making these games as enticing to spend to spend money as possible, which leads to people spending more money on them than they can afford. Vulnerable people are being taken advantage off, and that's not okay.
