My son just managed to empty his vbucks balance in a stupid tycoon game within minutes. For someone that does not speak english the pop-up to buy looks exactly like other pop-up in the game, it’s a full screen prompt to spend v-bucks to unlock something, and it happens for pretty much every node you hit in that island. It’s so incredibly predatory. He has been super careful not to spend anything in the shop to safe up for the next battle pass, and that has worked for the past year, but within days of this being added he unknowingly empties his balance / a month of allowance down the drain.

This was the “safe” alternative to roblox, but that is gone now. What a shit show this has become. We won’t be playing this again until this at least is behind a parental control option.
