A 13-year-old spent $64,000 of her parents' money on mobile games without them realizing
original_ish_name, pay to win games should be illegal.
Bu.. bUt TheY NeED tO maKe MonEY.
So does this girls parents
seesaw, Yeah, make it so that either
- I pay to buy the game and I have fully access to everything it offers
- I pay to buy the game and pay a monthly subscription fee and nothing else
A game which you can pay to buy gems which speeds up your fucking castle's build time is moronic and shouldn't exist at all
original_ish_name, the girl said she didn't understand much about money
- Shes 13 years old. She should know by now
- She knew to hide the transaction history from her parents
- She knew she shouldn't give money to her classmates
simple, 
These stories are always wild to me. Who keeps giving unrestricted access for their credit card to children?
NotSteve_, 
Yeah that's the first thing I always think when I see stuff like this. Also do other people not obsessively check their bank account balances? Haha
vertana, @NotSteve_ This is what I was thinking. Even not obsessively checking though. She didn’t check it once in four months?
mars, Financial literacy is a huge issue in consumer spending across the globe. Even in world-leading economies, the layperson often doesn’t understand basics like sustainably leveraging credit/debt.
BigFrogNuts, And she will forever be satisfied with all her purchases and never desire anything else.
