But it is a valid reason to put something onto moderation.
|
I agree, but the responsibility of that falls to the parent of the child. There are responsible minors out there who understand that things need to be taken into moderation, and just because we have ****ty parents who don't understand how to check their account charges we have to penalize those who are responsible?
|
Hell, half the times the parents don't even realize their children have blew half their paycheck on virtual skins until its too late.
Kids can lie too and the parent can be none the wiser about the whole situation.

As Colin said earlier, learn to manage your money. You should make it a habit to check your account once a day. If you see charges that you don't know where they are coming from then you need to do something about that.
|
As human beings we desire those "feel good" moments, hell we need them to survive. But if you aren't careful it can grow out of your control.

There are many more addictive things to get into than gambling, and there are even more equally addictive things to get into that are completely legal. Consuming sugar releases dopamine, hence why it's addictive. Consuming sugar is not good for you. Consuming MSG does the same and is significantly worse than sugars.
|
There are a lot better things you can do for your enjoyment than bet your money on pixels so why even have it available to you in the first place?
|
But who are you to choose what they do with their free time? If they have a job and have money and are being responsible, what's the difference between buying an in-app purchase on Graal, or gambling with CS?
|
Why get drunk on alcohol and possibly hurt somebody when you can just enjoy a flavored beverage?
|
But with gambling (assuming you're listening to what I'm saying and are being responsible and aren't enabling your kid to fuel an addiction which laws wouldn't do anything to stop since like Colin said earlier credit cards would be proof of legal age and since they are stealing them it wouldn't matter holy run-on-sentence) the only person you're potentially hurting is yourself.
