You've made me reread my comment multiple times and I still don't know what the ancient slang is. God I'm not even 30 and I'm already being made feel old lmao

Blame the US for declaring that US minors are too stupid and US parents too neglectful to pay attention to what is purchased online. They have to kick off kids from their game, legally, and nearly all mobile and online games that have any way to spend real money will be doing the same within the next year.> They have to kick off kids from their game, legally, and nearly all mobile and online games that have any way to spend real money will be doing the same within the next year. Good. Gambling is illegal for minors under the age of 18.

It's those under 13 required to be deleted, those under 16 just purchases restricted. And even if they were banned, that doesn't mean they won't come the moment they turn 16 either.Any way you look at it, this effects the drip. It's not franchise ending but it definitely hurts.

The why is rarely argued. The how is always the point of contention. That's why I am wondering what they are asking for age verification.

Most of the game isn't gambling, to pretend otherwise is just silly. It's like being one of those idiots that pretend counterstrike is gambling.

Didn't know that was ancient, I see it used a lot among... I guess other almost 30 year olds.

I've refused to move my payment from password to biometrics purely because I'll spend more if I don't have to type out my 22 character password. A few times I've gone to buy something and seen the password field pop up and just like.. uhh cbf. And then saved like $30.

If there's an otherwise g rated movie with ten minutes of full frontal nudity and hard-core sex what rating do you think that movie is gonna get?

Not everyone buys a separate device for their children or knows how to/can set up a user account.

Damn, got 'em. Actually, they deserve to lose $16,000 while raising a gambling addict because they didn't pull up their bootstraps and micromanage everything their preteen does in "that colorful game they play." Mate, asking under-13s to get parent permission is provoking that good parenting you seem to care about anyway—what on earth is the problem?
-
If you think cosmetic lootboxes are comparable to porn, you're too stupid for internet access and your handler should limit your screen time in the future until a cure is found for whatever thing is currently affecting you.
-
Then why tf a game is responsible for their monetory loss? Children are susceptible to many more scams. And on top of that taking such privacy invasive 'measure' to solve it doesn't make sense either. Children can even upload patent's ids if parents are so careless anyway.

Micromanagement is not typically considered good parenting; however showing interest in, and having some knowledge of, what your child spends significant time doing is.
