Start with why Nintendo games are non-exploitative: no microtransactions, and a single retail purchase.

Regulate children's games such that they must have a minimum price (eg. $4.99) and contain no microtransactions.

The same could be done with pornography: require $4.99/month as the minimum charge, paid via credit card, to access, and DNS ban all sites which do not acquiesce.

On mobile this isn’t true. I worry that now that Nintendo has gotten a taste of the F2P riches via Fire Emblem Heroes these ideas will seep into other parts of the business.
