Hi all,
I have been trying to find a definitive answer and figure out the best way forward.
Currently my son has a PS4 with a child account linked to my PSN account. We did this a few years ago. About a year ago he wanted to play Fortnite with his friends, his profile would not allow it as he was 11 years old (turned 12 in December). Therefore he has been using my account and my PSN is linked to my Epic Games account so he can play Fortnite. At some stage I am going to email Epic to ask if I can unlink my PSN and link his but that's a different issue. The PS4 also doesnt allow for certain content on some lego games.
I am getting there.....
He is about to get a Switch. I don't want to be in the same position as I have been with the PS4.
He will want to play Pokemon with his mates online and various other games online too.
If I set up an account and give him a kids account it appears he can't play online because he is not 13 years old. (I could make his DOB older)
If he is on my account can I still by a single online membership for him? I will not be using the Switch at all.
Or should I sent him up his own account with a different DOB and stay out of it completely?
He does have his own email address.
Appreciate any comments or help, interested to know what others have done.
Thanks
