AGE RESTRICTION - EA SUCKS BIG TIME
Not only does EA tell me what games my kids can play, but they also make it impossible to disable the nag telling him to login to services he can't access in the first place. It's so annoying that h...

@Whoknew2014 - that's the whole point, censored //EA_Valgard.they KNOW he's too young to play yet keep prompting him to login for online services that he cant even use.
Next time think before rushing to troll.
Chill bro. As a parent YOU should know that EA is not forcing your kids to do anything. This is for the protection of the kids. So instead of calling me names why don't you try reaching out to your Congress person to get this law changed or modified.
Still read that fine print in ALL you do and not just gaming.
On a side note I did NOT save 15 percent on my car insurance.

@Whoknew2014 - you obviously have no clue, so let me spell it out for you:
1) You're wrong. I can and have bypassed age restrictions on web surfing, apps and games across multiple platforms for my children WHEN I DECIDE AS A PARENT THAT THE CONTENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THEM. By denying me that option, EA is, in fact, telling me what games my kids can and can't play.
EDIT: The FTC allows companies to get "verifiable consent" from parents to waive COPPA regulations regarding their kids' personal information:
https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/BUS84-coppa-6-steps.pdf
It has also approved several methods of gaining that consent, so EA really has no excuse other than simply being too cheap to implement:
Furthermore, COPPA restrictions apply to the exchange or display of identifying information -- as long as that information is not exchanged or displayed, they are in compliance with the act. That means obfuscating username, blocking access to chat, and hiding badges/accomplishments from other users and steps to make the servers COPA compliant....there is NO hard-set restriction in place.
2) I don't want to change any laws. I don't even want him to have access to online services. I just want to disable a nag
3) Try having kids before telling people how to be a parent, otherwise you end up sounding like a censored //EA_Valgard
