Pet tax. Any pics of Charley? That's a fun story behind him :P

It's not a very substantive question to begin with. In fact it comes across as circlejerky/memey.

I'm not sure how one can give a reasonable response.

What alternative financing model would you suggest?

Advertisements? Shadow profiling? Selling kids' data?

BTW all the games I played as a kid 15 years ago had skinner boxes. That's part of making a fun game and IMO not actually inherent exploitative. If you kill an enemy and it has random drops, that's technically a skinner box.

Ah gotcha, so your only solution is to mandate that Roblox be a paid game, and not free to play?

Can you see any non-monetary benefits to being F2P? I suspect they'd be strong arguments for why Roblox is not behind a paywall of any sorts, especially if you consider it took decades to hockey-stick.

Why are people having kids when they can be adopting instead?

Feel free to ask that about any of your extended family members. If you think you are in the right and anyone who has kids is somehow selfish then you lack empathy.
