Re: Cannot create an account due to being under age

Silly me... I followed the instructions for setting up a child Origin account before I read this.

Now I have a child account, that can't click on ANYTHING in the Origin client (seriously, even the "friends" button is hidden).

I have a PvZ game where even the "Options" menu is inaccessible and says "You are too young..."

I have paid AUD$50 for a game that is 100% legally able to be accessed and used by my child.  He has full parental permission and supervision... But cannot use this "family friendly" game I bought for his 9th birthday because NO ONE ever mentioned that being old enough to have both a PSN and Origin account means you are still not old enough to play ANY games.

  • I've stuck also, like  Zeafer79 

    My 9y son can't play on his account PSN/Origin

    On PSN I've got tied his subaccount to my. On Origin is the same,but both PSN accounts are tied to my Origin account. I've used davepawson solution, but with no effect. Or maybe with bad results: now all options are disabled in PvsZ for child. Earlier (without Origin account), son may played on Garden Ops.

    There is no H.E.L.P form EA??!! Nothing?...

  • Ok

    In Europe (mostly) PEGI is used. In my country (Poland) PvsZ GW has PEGI 7 rating (see links in prev post), PS Store used PEGI 7 also, so "in law" my 9 years old son has full right/ability to play it.

    I and other customers who saw this rating on PS Store decided to by this game. And problem is still unresolved.

    This solution (by davepawson) didn't work on my account and Zeafer79 also.

    After that, my Origin account is tied to both the adult PSN account and the child PSN subaccount.

    There is no option to tie child Origin account to child PSN subaccount in the Origin client. Maybe this is a problem source.
