    I don’t know the cutoff for this, and while it is certainly within their rights to upgrade, I hope you guys had a chat about it and expectations.

    Yes they can make their own decisions.

    No, not all gaming communities are friendly, even for adults. Look at League of Legends - it’s a cesspit; at least it was way back in 2010-2012 when I was playing.

      They can do this at age 18.

      You cannot expect to control a legal adults account.

      The surprise is that it doesn’t automatically occur.

        Again, I point out I wasnt aware at what age they were able to change account status.

        I also didn’t say anything about controling legal adults. I did suggest talking with them though. You know. Like adults do.

          Sure talk to them but a parent should be ding that before the child turns 18. It should be part of the discussion around why restrictions are in place.

          “The world is full of terrible people” isn’t a discussion to save for adulthood.

      True stuff, to be fair, LoL is quite better nowadays. The average age of players has grown with the game, I had a game with two other 30+ year olds and we were joking about it, when we got destroyed we were still cracking jokes.

      Results may vary, but it definitely isn’t as bad.
