Dad Bans Teenage Son From FIFA 16 After Spending A FORTUNE On In-game Purchases by Minimie(m): 12:24pm On Jan 13, 2016 |
Canadian Lance Perkins was "floored" after reading his credit card statement to find $7625.88 worth of charges thanks to his Xbox-playing son. An avid Fifa 16 player has been banned from playing all video games by his father after unwittingly racking up nearly $8,000 in credit card charges for in-game purchases. Players of the popular virtual reality football series can bolster their Ultimate Team squad by buying new player packs and topping up their 'Fifa Points', which range from £1.99 to £79.99 for UK-based users. However, Canadian Lance Perkins was left shocked after his son spent $7625.88 (£5276) on his credit card, and he has responded by placing a lifetime ban on consoles in his house. "It floored me. Literally floored me, when I'd seen what I was being charged," Perkins told CBC News. "He thought it was a one-time fee for the game. "He's just as sick as I am, [because] he never believed he was being charged for every transaction, or every time he went onto the game. "There will never be another Xbox system - or any gaming system - in my home." Source: http://realnaijastuffs..com/2016/01/dad-bans-teenage-son-from-fifa-16-after.html Cc: lalasticlala
