You can turn off the ability to buy it (Destiny)

by Funkmon , Tuesday, October 27, 2015, 20:41 (3106 days ago) @ bluerunner

My nephew did something unthinkable with his Kindle fire, apparently. My parents didn't tell me what it was, but the Kindle was taken away, and he has been grounded from the internet for 6 months now.

I ASSUME he went and spent $2000 on micro transactions on his stupid games. Of course my parents are stupid for not disabling that. They should have made him work it off.

I never liked that my parents didn't trust me with things, but if I ever hand a kid something that is linked to ANY account I have ANYWHERE, that thing is getting locked the down like Fort Knox.
