Streetwind Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 A game account must be registered to an email address, I'm afraid. Have you considered just making a throwaway email account for them? You can keep it under your control if you feel like they aren't old enough yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alder Posted August 5 Report Share Posted August 5 I believe you could create another account with your current email using the +1 trick. Gmail allows you to add a + and then any set of characters and allows it to function like a separate email. So myemail@gmail.com could become myemail+relative@gmail.com or as many people do, just myemail+1@gmail.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy as many accounts as you want, but when registering in the customer area you can only use one email. I saw that you mentioned that you think he or she is not old enough to have an email. Maybe you could create one for him or her to register his or her account and give the password and email to his or her legal guardians, or keep it for yourself if he or she is one, and only give the relative access to his or her customer account so that he or she can download the game and updates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
