<p>^lmao it’s so funny how parents can be so ignorant.</p>
<p>like seriously, my F once got SO angry at me that he took away my age of empires II CD. but turns out that i could STILL play the game because he took away the original CD but not the expansion pack CD I used. He seriously couldn’t tell the difference between the original game and its expansion. This was before the age of torrents and no-cd cracks so taking the real CD away really would have killed my ability to play the game.</p>
<p>If it’s your money you should tell your parents to mind their own business. Actually, don’t do that cause they would just get mad probably. I would just say ok and tell them you won’t buy any more games, but just keep buying them. Unless you are one of those rich people with your own credit card and you can buy whatever you want and your parents just pay for it, then i woulod say they can tell you to not buy them. I wish i had my own credit card.</p>
<p>^ I would not recommend lying to your parents. It doesn’t improve things… But I guess that kinda defeats the OP’s original premise.</p>
<p>paypal works for steam. not for windows lives games though.</p>
<p>Don’t buy the games. Practice restraint.</p>

<p>That’s crazy. I watched my first PG-13 movie at 7(Dodgeball) and the first R movie at 9 with my parents. And I know a lot of kids who started playing Halo at 5.</p>
<p>^ Unfortunately, the “I did it at age X so you should be able to also” argument doesn’t pass logic.</p>
<p>I know, I"m just saying the age limits are for saying “You shouldn’t watch this WITHOUT parental guidance until age X.”</p>
