> The way Fortnite targets kids for Vbucks and skin sales is pretty gross too. Many stories of Mommy's credit card being ran up.

This isn’t exclusive to Fortnite, by FAR. Singling out Epic isn’t really fair when the same exact thing happens with Roblox, Clash of Clans, etc.

It's fair because Epic is part owned by a company (Tencent) that is owned/ran by a government (The CCP/CPC.) that bans such things for their children, but are OK with it in the West for their profit.

But yeah, Roblox and CoC are gross too. However you should not trust Tencent and Epic. Just go pay for Kerbal on a better platform.

A ranking CCP member must be on staff at a high level to carry out the interests of the party. I believe more than few of their upper management positions are headed by high ranking CCP members.
