    I can’t figure out how to create accounts for my kids. They are under 13 and there’s a checkbox saying people under 13 can’t create an account.

      Use the time honored technique of lying on the birthdate form.

      Yeah, maybe they should have some sort of ‘young child’ accounts for children under 13, that are required to be in a family with more restrictions on store access and such.

        I there are some regulatory hurdles as well, like data collection and ratings board stuff. It would probably take some work to implement those.

      IIRC I’m 5 years older on steam than reality because of this. From my family’s first computer onward, I am the parental controls.
