Dunno if you covered this, but per a knowledgeable industry colleague with 1st hand experience: the age "verification" photos are prompted for w/o parental consent, there's no way for a parent to correct it after the fact when it's wrong (in this case by several years older), and no apparent way...

1 at a time? Insanity!
Can't load your own virtual game cards on more than 2 systems?

Lots of great domant ips, for sure, but I think the real opportunities will come when some PE dipshit decides to try and spin off some of the central tech groups.

I'm sure there will be lots of things up for sale, soonish.

Before that point, expect much traction with respect to the §230 safe harbor given how they've apparently set up the creation and dissemination of the images? (specifically text prompt vs a image editor operated by a user, and the whole posting them via an official company account part.)

A lot of these kind of IoT devices will have hardocded credentials to gain access to the bootloader, firmware updater, or some mechanism to install certs or change URIs.
It's not "admin" in your case that's key, but instead the rest of the implementation decisions that go along with that attitude.
