| Basically, Micro$oft, SONY, and NINTENDO are trying to avoid having kids spend all their parents money on micropurchases. http://kotaku.com/nintendo-warns-parents-about-kids-spending-their-money-1672650708?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Twitter&utm_source=Kotaku_Twitter&utm_medium=Socialflow Sorry about Kotaku Link - Quote :
- Most console online shops have a cache that keeps a user's credit card information in memory to save the trouble of having to enter and re-enter the information over and over again with each purchase. This leads to the double-edged sword where a child can go on a shopping spree since the information is already in there and they don't have to ask for it. Generally, commercial consoles have parental lock features to keep children from making unsupervised online purchases, however, it seems not enough people are aware of the existence of such features, hence Nintendo's earnest plea.
The site contains a joint message from Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony regarding the existence of parental controls in each of the companies' consoles, reminding us that while these companies may be rivals, they're all working towards the same goal.
Seriously, games and game consoles aren't babysitters http://www.nintendo.co.jp/parents/information-for-parents_etc.pdf | |
