I don’t want to go off on a rant here….
But SERIOUSLY.
I created an XBL account for my daughter, so that she can play Minecraft in an online game.
I get an email to her address saying that we have to verify the account (perfectly fine) by an adult.
Click it, and get taken to MSN (MSN? That’s your interface? Really?). Where it has two options – “Get your parent” or “ask by email.” Note that I’ll later find out that the “Ask by email” link doesn’t even work – it goes to a dead page.
Choosing ask a parent gives a confirm or deny link. I click confirm, and it asks me to sign in my account (fine, no worries).
Then I sign in, and it says it wants to verify me as an adult. And to do that, I see this:
“To verify that you’re an adult, you must provide a valid credit card number. A credit card is the only method of age verification we accept.
We’ll charge your credit card $0.50 (50 cents) and a portion will be donated to charity.”
