<p>So say, you have a debit card account, but that your parents can monitor your account. Then how can you hide your computer game purchases from your parents? </p>
<p>Sure, you can buy them from generic places like Amazon. But you can't do that for those special deals you get from Steam.</p>
<p>…Why would it be necessary to hide them.</p>
<p>because parents think that computer games are the root of all evil? lol</p>
<p>^^Because some people have mothers who don’t want their children playing video/computer games that are rated M. And almost anything good is rated M.</p>
<p>Oh. Then just Amazon that up?
Hahaha I don’t have this problem because my 8 year old brother told my mom that rated “M” mean “More Fun.” She has not questioned this.
But isn’t M for 17+ or something? Aren’t most people on here 17+? (HS seniors) Why not just sit the mom down, make a rational argument, and see what’s up.</p>
<p>lol. I buy M rated games legally (I’m 17), so I don’t really see what the issue would be.</p>
<p>Oh is it? I thought it was 18. But what do I know, I hardly ever play video games. I want to though, maybe as a graduation present I’ll ask for an Xbox or a Wii.
And yeah, maybe if I talk to my mom about it she’ll change her mind. She really adheres to every rating system for all form of entertainment. I wasn’t even allowed to watch PG-13 movies until I was 13. Although I still watched them behind her back. :p</p>
<p>M is 17+</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>Ask someone else to buy it for you?</p>
<p>^oooh good idea. works for gifts on Steam.</p>
<p>wouldn’t have worked for 10 cents AoE3 tho</p>
<p>^What do your parents have against AoE3? And where did you see it for 10 cents? I want it lol.</p>
<p>Black Ops is terrible. I prefer CODMW2</p>
<p>Obviously have a friend buy it for you…</p>
<p>My mom bought my 13 year old brother Black Ops yesterday, and neither the cashier nor my mother noticed the rating. Ha ha ha</p>
<p>Black Ops is not terrible. You take that back right now.</p>
<p>The last two Treyarch games have been worse than the Infinity Ward games. Not to say they’re bad, they’re just not as good as the modern warfare ones</p>
<p>The black ops maps are atrocious. Come on. I feel like I’m playing Quake or something. They just aren’t modern maps. I mean NUKETOWN!?!?! It looks like crap.</p>
<p>Nuketown is fun to destroy on. You must be someone who get mowed down by people like me who tend to get chopper gunners pretty often.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol it was on sale a few days ago. now it’s not there anymore.</p>
<p>My brother (who’s in high school) hides his game purchases from my parents. He does this by not using the lunch money given to him for lunch but instead saves it up and then gets his friend to drive him to Best Buy/GameStop/whatever and buy the game he wants. My parents seriously can’t tell when he’s evidently playing a new game he just bought. It was actually my suggestion for him to not use lunch money on lunch and instead spend it on games and he actually took up on the idea. I guess for some people it’s seen as worth it.</p>
