The FTC announced that Epic Games has agreed to pay $520 million, due to "violating children's privacy laws" and "tricking users into making unwanted charges".
The next in the row should be a gog with their faulty practices and policies. Example: you can buy Witcher3 without any drm's, but to have some items/bonuses/extras that are part of this purchase you need to install additional software with drm's.- galaxy and such. But there is no info about this on the page. You can't read about it before buying. Instead the information is provided only by angry users after the purchase one the game forums or elsewhere online.
They are only dinged for this because they are so big - hundreds of crappy phone apps are just as bad. But their store definitely is designed intentionally to separate parents wallets from their money.
