    Not everyone buys a separate device for their children or knows how to/can set up a user account.

    This comment is a parenting related issue, the technicality illiterate might forget to take the proper precautions when letting their child use their phone and blame the game instead of taking responsibility for their actions.

      No, you’re making it one to sidestep an issue.

      If this bad parenting happens often enough to be a real problem, then whining into the wind that “no one has any common sense anymore,” or whatever you’re doing, isn’t a solution.

      I do blame the game a little because it’s a game that really, really, really wants you to spend money on diamond gem funbucks.

      Let me ask you this question, hm? You don’t want to show your ID even though we all do that for alcohol—fine. Why not: $80 up front, all banners are periodic DLCs, some of them free, there is more than enough korok seeds in game to get all of them, and they never expire—infinite time to twiddle your thumbs before completing them. Would this not solve your ID problem?

      That is, unless you would like to spearhead this global movement to teach underprivileged parents how to configure their phones?

        of course thats not a solution. but what can you do? lawmakers wont make laws that make the parents responsible for their negligence. sometimes it’s not even intentional negligence, but that they don’t even know what should they do, and how can that be done

        I do blame the game a little because it’s a game that really, really, really wants you to spend money on diamond gem funbucks.

        that’s fair, I do too. I also blame all the commercial social networks, if I can call them that way

        You don’t want to show your ID even though we all do that for alcohol—fine.

        just let me remind you that that happens offline, and it is provable if copies are not preserved. normally you just show it and that’s it.

        That is, unless you would like to spearhead this global movement to teach underprivileged parents how to configure their phones?

        if someone cannot properly configure their phones, then they need to be made liable for the consequences their negligence causes.
