Terraria is on sale and i thought i’d buy a copy for my kid brother. But then i thought i should actually read the user agreement and privacy policy before i tell him to make an account. Turns out people younger than 16 can’t own accounts, and i can’t just buy a copy for him on my account because i’m already going to buy a copy for my account (i currently have the Steam version but want the game sans DRM).

So if i want to get him this game, should i make an account in his name but keep control of it until he’s older? Is there some better legal option here?

    Iirc, GOG staffers consider ok to let people from a same household to use an user’s games. But you can confirm that in their official channels, and as you already have an account on GOG by the way you wrote, you can post and comment in their forums too, where staffers often lurk.
