[QUOTE="DoneDad, post: 726669, member: 17244"] What game was it? It can’t hurt to contact them and explain the situation - they might be willing to work with you to get some or all of the money back. $3000 seems like an awful lot of money to spend on a game. Is it possible other players were taking advantage of him and getting him to buy stuff to give to them so they’d be his “friends”? That’s why I asked what game it was. Role playing games like World of Warcraft involve player interaction and raise the possibility Of people taking advantage of someone like your son. For a 14 year old with impulse control issues, being in a situation where having whatever you want be just a click away is a no win situation. Whether you let him continue playing or not is up to you, but you have to disable his ability to make in app purchases. There’s no way he can control this on his own. And be prepared to find out he’s a very technologically savvy and can work around whatever you do to try to stop him. [/QUOTE]
