Parent Pro-Tip
Parents should establish clear spending limits and monitor in-app purchases due to the presence of loot boxes and pay-to-win mechanics. Encourage breaks and discuss the persuasive design tactics used to keep players engaged. While direct stranger chat is absent, be mindful of any social elements that might lead to indirect social comparison.
