They should let people buy credits.. Then redeem them for the game they want.

    Or Wii points. With craftfully engineered payment options and prices so that emptying your account was a puzzle where you always end up buying something you didn't really want.

    Combined with star points in Europe, the loyalty reward points that you couldn't use for anything for years... And then they let you exchange them for Wii points, at a ridiculously low conversion rate, and you're struggling to use those again.

    That won't help. The CC companies will still be facilitating the purchasing of the products which exist on the site.

    Then reduce amount off during sales and give people bonus credits whenever they buy something. Bonus credits can be used wherever...

    Or... They can create their own crypto coin and people can buy that with dollars. Visa and MasterCard don't stop people (although do charge a ridiculous fee) from buying crypto already, which can be used on all sorts of more nefarious dealings.

    We can get even more convoluted if we need to.
