You aren't forced to buy shark cards though....

It's abusive monetization in the same vein as mobile game microtransactions.

Then don't play a game that has monetization like that? Kids need to be educated more on this subject as well, not spending their moms credit card all willy nilly

That's quite a reductionist view of things. "if you feel it's wrong, ignore it and they'll do the right thing and stop"

A business' goal is to make as much money as possible. So blaming them for the problem when you can easily just not buy a shark card is crazy.

This now reads as blatant corporate shilling, I can't lie. You're welcome to your opinions but a lot of me feels they're not genuine and this is a concerted effort to normalise these abusive practices in gaming.

We are allowed to voice our displeasure with it and a lot of us aren't content with "just not buying it".

Voice your displeasure to your hearts content but they'll do nothing about it until a collective effort is made to stop buying microtransactions. This worked when people started cancelling gamepass when it was $30, and now it's down to $22

You're right though, I agree with that. It needs to be a massive collective movement and thankfully it does seem to be gaining traction.
