Agreed, to an extent. I had major arguments with my first kid over things like 10,000R Dominus'. It was a source of arguments for days at a time sometimes. I was on Linux at the time so I couldn't even play the games to see exactly how scammy some of them are.

However, he grew up, and when our youngest got into it, our oldest immediately took my side when his brother started the same kinds of arguments and, somehow, he was able to instantly get through and convince him spending Robux on that level is very dumb. I've since gotten back on to Windows and it's been an absolute treat to play with our youngest ever since. I wonder if I had just been able to play with our oldest, if those arguments could have been avoided entirely. As lame as a lot of the games are, they can be pretty fun to play with a kid for a bit and they don't seem to care too much about the stuff being sold when they have someone in the same room to play with.
