    I remember saving up for those and then spending the money in Steam sales. Shame for all the kids who want to buy games that can’t use their parents credit card.

      parents should just use PayPal. it requires you to approve purchases.

      that or setup a steam family.

          I have to use it for a side gig I do. I make sure that as soon as money hits PayPal it goes right out and into my bank account. Fuck PayPal.

        My bank lets me set up a kid debit card, I can see and approve purchases and set limits.

        Also, IMO kids should either ask their parents to buy a game for them, or be old enough to have their own bank account.

        Giving your kid a credit card is how they end up with a gambling addiction because AAA is an unsanctioned casino.
