People say that, but kids under 16 probably aren't the majority of people spending thousands in gachas. They usually don't have money, save for the ones who steal their parents's credit card.

No, but kids under 16 are hooked into the content drip on their favorite social media. This significantly impacts the drip, a big part of online gaming is sharing what you have or have done through YouTube, TikTok, etc.

Everybody wants to be a content creator. Nobody wants to be a content creator in default skins.

It's those under 13 required to be deleted, those under 16 just purchases restricted. And even if they were banned, that doesn't mean they won't come the moment they turn 16 either.
