The news about teenagers who make improper use of their parents' credit card to make purchases in their favorite games without permission, unfortunately, are more common than we would like. Although Epic Games reactivated the returns at Fortnite a few weeks ago, problems like Steven Harrison and his 12-year-old son, Tyler, can not be solved with the bank or the game itself: until the young user was discovered by his father, he made 81 purchases in three days .

As explained by the British portal LadBible, the total amounts to more than 780 euros , and your bank has not wanted to take charge of the return as it is considered an expense authorized by the owner. It seems that the problem arose when the young player started making purchases with the card, which was saved in the system by a purchase consented by his father in the past. Aware of what he was doing or not, he allowed Tyler to spend money on Fortnite without needing it. The objective of Harrison making the news public is none other than to warn other parents so they do not have the same problem as them.

Fortnite , like every video game that triumphs among the youngest players, has found many fronts that are contrary to the video game of Epic Games . The company, as we explained at the end of May, allows the return of purchases made in Fortnite by means of microtransaction or money from the video game itself, but they are limited to three purchases, not the 81 that Tyler made during the 72 hours that he could use the card his father's.
