Hmmm yeah. More hooked = more in game purchases. Morals and ethics aside, it seems so risky from a business point of view.

>Epic employees expressed concern about its default settings. As early as 2017, Epic employees urged the company to change the default settings to require users to opt in for voice chat, citing concern about the impact on children in particular. Despite this and reports that children had been harassed, including sexually, while playing the game, the company resisted turning off the default settings. And while it eventually added a button allowing users to turn voice chat off, Epic made it difficult for users to find, according to the complaint.
I wonder why on earth Epic resisted making voice chat opt in for children? It seems a no-brainer. I must be missing something obvious.

I remember his face. Before I started school I remember mum would iron the washing while watching this show. I would help iron dad's handkerchiefs.
