I have a problem, I really want to get TF2 on steam, but alas, I am 14 so I don't own a credit card. I asked my mum if she could let me use her card to buy it(because its at a low price right now) and she said 'maybe'. She implied that she doesnt trust steam even though I showed her a LOT of security policies that they have but still, no.
If anyone can help me out, please find some facts/statistics from major companies to help me persuade her.
Your Mom is wise. I understand you want to play the game, but understand that services like STEAM are at the forefront of the whole "digital distribution" thing, and your Mom is probably like a lot of people who don't want to pay real money without getting an actual product in return. STEAM goes out of business, or decides to shut down, and your left with nothing.
Now, I admit I've bought a lot of stuff digitally nowadays, especially with the sales, but I did so knowing it's a substantial risk. I can understand why your mother doesn't want to purchuse games digitally, especially if money is tight.
Besides which, consider that it's the end of October, Christmas is coming. up. All of the rambling above aside, you sound like a kid. Think about it, your parents are probably saving their money to get you stuff for Christmas, and the things you mention that you want now are probably going on their list of things to get you. I mean sure, you want the game now, but well... that's how it always is when your young (heck I'm an Adult and do that too at times wven when I know better... lol).
