I was vaguely aware that shit like this happened in these game but reading the exact mechanisms was gut wrenching.

The c-suite for this game should be summarily executed.

I honestly feel like this sort of thing will continue to happen so long as children want to play online and with each other, since moderating is expensive (and therefore not prioritized) and curtailimg completely the ability to communicate gets rid of a big reason kids like playing it.
