You know what, a 17 year old kid should be more financially responsible than that. I don't blame EA, Microsoft or the credit card company at all. It's the kid's fault. The dad should make the son work to pay it back... No sympathy here.

 

EDIT: well, I can sympathize with the dad, it wasn't his fault. And I don't consider him liable because he let his son have the card, because once again, you should be able to expect a certain degree of financial responsibility from a frikkin 17 year old kid.

You really shouldn't ... 

Financial illiteracy is arguably the BIGGEST reason why we even have large income differences, it's also the reason why the poor get poorer and the rich get richer ...

So, the question is, anyone knows if it's possible to spent that money on FIFA's microtransations? And if possible, what are them? O__o

17 years old? Throw his Xbox in the dumpster. That kind of behavior is unacceptable. Even some 9 year olds have a better sense of responsibility.

The excuse being that he simply "didn't know" is crap. The son is obviously a complete idiot.



bet: lost

Whats that German term for taking pleasure in someone else pain? Pity the opposite of empathy is apathy in my culture because I think with the Internet I'm becoming a German.

Shoedenfreude or something spelled like that
scha·den·freu·de

This. While it sounds cruel, he's 17. He should've know better than to do that.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

By the way, Nice to see a return of the constipated Asian chicks the last one, the one with the hellish scene, it just wasn't as disturbing as an Asian full to bursting point. Shes gonna blow.

It's not constipation, it just pouting. :P

Bullshit he didn't know what he was doing. He's 17 not 7. How do you accidently spend 7.6k? No way.

Fucking idiot.

Pretty sure you have to confirm the use of credit card every time, I doubt the kid didn't know. I was 17 once, you're not that dumb.
