I've never let my kids play and luckily my kid's friend's dad also understands games and does research for things we don't know and we stuck together on this decision and on fortnight for our kids that are too young for it.

It also helps that I'm staunchly against micro transactions and lecture my kids about how spending real money on a skin is stupid every chance I get.

I'll never forget a post that i read here where someone told the story about he and his cousins got like 50 dollar steam gift cards. The older ones said that it's a good idea to buy cs2 crates or some shit. And they burned through all their money in minutes with nothing to show for.
