Anniversary gifts exclude young players (because the web store)

Devs! Please don’t lock anniversary presents behind the web store. My teenage kid simply cannot access those items because EA won’t let younglings have access to the web store.

It’s bad enough kids don’t get to collect the daily freebies. But now they also miss out on multiple 80-shard drops in the anniversary pack, too. Not very friendly, that.
  • Have you told your kid to just try being older?

    I'm kidding. It's lame that minor accounts are locked out of the freebies - I think CG should put those items in the in-game store for minor accounts. They could leave it in the web store for everyone else to drive the traffic they want.- but I'm sure it doesn't feel good for the young people that can't access it.
  • I guess there's no reason to give my kid a gift card to spend on SWGOH then. Maybe he can go play another game where he gets all the benefits I would and I can give that game money instead.
  • Yeah it sucks but with the COPPA law I don't blame them for preventing under 18 on chat or online store.
