Did not expect India to be the one to push back on the predatory behavior of micro transactions. Having lived in India for a long time, I’m not sure how much of it is greed but still a positive outcome I guess!

But where else are they supposed to spend all that hard-earned money from scamming senior citizens
-
I hope you know the small population of people doing this are considered scum by the rest of India and even if you meant it as a joke it sucks to categorize a country filled with many kinds of people as scammers.
-
These scammer jokes are getting old how about you be more creative with your racism?
-
To be fair I would say worse things about prosperity gospel preachers

These days? Buying tomatoes which have become super-expensive in India (prices are almost 10x the usual). Fuel (petrol, diesel, and cooking gas) are also very expensive. India is facing runaway inflation coupled with high unemployment.

Ooh. I like that. We should do that too. Just the microtransaction-based ones, not all online games. Decent subscription-based games should be exempt.
And I say that as someone that wishes he could be a Supercell fan. Used to be a huge one.
To be clear, this ruling seems to be online gaming as in gambling, not video games
Ah, well, that's not bad either. Frankly they should just expand it though. It's not like gatcha games aren't a sort of gambling enterprise.
