These tales come around regularly, and the answer is straightforward. There needs to be a limit on in-game spending to stop such absurd behavior.
It's the same person I mentioned earlier. I didn't realize he was from Belgium.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It seems the search didn’t return any results.
I don't agree. If the individual has sufficient funds or resources, along with passing age verification, then restrictions shouldn't exist. It ultimately depends on personal responsibility, just like in most situations. If not, that's unacceptable.
I get frustrated when there are too many free-to-play items that interfere with gameplay or slow down progress without any cost. Still, I’m okay spending a few euros on a skin.
No teens possess their own cards. Usually, they rely on parents' credit lines. Credit limits typically hover around $10k monthly if managed well. Working adults can handle it by paying early, but they must stay within bounds. It’s unfair to label them as stealing; limits are necessary. Password protection is essential, especially for online spending.
I assume a teenager can't earn a steady paycheck because they often finish school early and start working independently. Many teens manage their own finances, like using credit cards for personal expenses, which can be limited by the card issuer rather than the user. There shouldn't be a fixed cap since those who can afford more would face consequences. Parents should ensure card security, and users must handle purchases responsibly. I’m pretty sure most cards require passwords or other safeguards.
