Beyond idiotic idea, not like it matters most people buy games online now.

Hey dad, come over here and stare at the screen for a bit.

Jesus, it's not kids buying these games. It's parents buying them for kids. The only people this would prevent would be removeds, teens who have their own jobs who pay for their own things. And even then, guaranteed they have the guy who buys them beer anyway.

Alright so am I the only one that thinks it's worse to have removed instead of whatever it was that you actually meant? It's like not showing the monster in a movie, the mind just runs wild ...

The hell word did you remove

Oh, removed, during the scam attacks that was a common title and I banned it on my instance. I can unban it now that I set up an automod.

Edit. lol. Sixteen year old

Pfft. No, you just download a sketchy webcam emulator and video of a dude looking into the camera

Nah, you just have an AI generate a looped clip of a person and feed that in. I'm ready for the infinity AI feedback loop
