now perhaps you didn't mean it to, but this post came across pretty snarky, and my post was meant in complete straight forward honesty in case the individual would like to look into a possible option so they could make purchases online. (between free shipping and steam sale type things, buying stuff online can really save you money in the long run.)DoPo said:So, you reckon somebody who doesn't have a credit card, and also relies on their parents for games, is likely to have a bank account? Or moreover, even if they have, it's one they have complete control over?gmaverick019 said:there are alot of places that take paypal as a payment, and you can get your paypal account setup to take transfers from your bank account, so you can put money into your paypal account directly from your bank, and then buy stuff online like that.Timeless Lavender said:I don't know. Maybe if I am really interested in a game I would probably preorder it (maybe even buying the alpha versions). Sadly I am unable to buy games on internet because I do not have a credit card and my parents would probably say no. So if I have a credit card or making my own money, yes I would buy it but for my current life, no.
(In case you didn't know.)
with credit cards you can get into big trouble/debt, so some people are just vehemently against them regardless... I had a bank account from ~12 on up, I wasn't allowed to have a card on it until I was 17-18, but before that point I had a paypal that was directly tied to it (I did lots of odd jobs for neighbors, such as landscaping/lawn mowing, and they'd pay me through paypal and it'd get transferred to my bank account that way.). Maybe timeless lavender wasn't aware of it, so I was just offering something that I used to have when I didn't have credit/check cards.
if you weren't rubbing your nose at me, then my apologies, but if you have a legit problem with my post, well then fuck, deal with it, I was trying to be sincere when I posted it.
