@BrikoX they must have found out that suing minors is harder, so they're not the ideal user base. Better have adult customers that can be threatened and sued into oblivion! Fanbois will put up with all of it no questions asked

People are having fewer kids so they know that can go after people who have a lot more disposable income who are already fans of their franchises.
