So... I don't completely get where the complaints are coming from? Yeah, their premium gacha requires currency you can mainly get through irl money, BUT don't act as if there is no option to buy a full set for turnips. If you only want certain items from the set just sell off anything extra on to others for tatoes or wait for a new set to appear that You won't be able to get for turnips, but would like some items and just trade? It's really not complicated and a lot of games have gachas under different names and every game has in game purchases.

And for younger audiences... if they start stealing from their parents to buy stuff online... y'all really gonna blame the game? Not the kid, parenting, but the game who just has the option?

Dunno, that's just my opinion on this, as I said above. It's completely normal. Free to play can buy this from the market, people who payed can buy a full set.
