The problems with kids and f2p games is nothing new. The “stole mommy’s credit card” meme has been around for over a decade. There were reports of this happening in 2007 with Maplestory.

The Blast Ball mini-game also had a seed of greatness. The success of Rocket League a year later proved that Next Level has great ideas.
