But, after age verification, they won’t be able to independently make the loot-box purchases that grant players access to the game’s collectable characters.

This sounds a bit misleading. “Grant players access” sounds like there was no access before purchase. As far as I know, there are no characters that require any purchases at all. I mean, wishes aka gacha pulls use 2 types of currency and both types you get either with real money or through gameplay (including dailies for example). I’ve got 4 four-star characters from gacha pulls without spending any real money on gacha pull currency so far at AR33.

Thank you! I randomly clicked the last one and it turns out it’s the one with 200 primos! Lucky me! 😊

Those SimpleLogin addresses do really look sus. When you don’t use custom domain option, your address looks like autogenerated bot email or temporary disposable email. I guess it will take some time for world to catch up with concepts of email privacy and email aliases. This is the first time I see this thing, and I’m hyped to try it myself!
