@carlos82 @Newsinz @X-blades I’m very aware some accounts ask for credit card info. I’ve probably been a customer on every platform at some point. I’m also aware that many of those platforms, like a Nintendo account, don’t require you to keep a card tied to the account.
I also have a 5 year old who likes her iPad games (Roblox in particular ) and is well aware of Fortnite. So I know the nagging that comes with wanting us to spend money on in game items. But even with thsqings like birthday and Christmas money, me and her mom are the ones who have the final call on how that money is spent because we know you can’t always count on kids to make the best decisions
So I guess the point I’m trying to make is where are these parents when these decisions are being made? To be clear , I’m not entirely against a micro transaction every once in a while. And for older kids making their own money and having some agency over it, it’s another story (though I’m not against some bit of oversight there as well). But I have a hard time stomaching parents allowing their elementary and middle school aged children to go down that rabbit hole.
