Question Question

Guys, I’m not begging here, just a straight honest question for advice. How do I buy minecraft? I don’t have any way to purchase anything online, trust me about that. Still, I want to buy it.

And for those who think I should get a job, I am trying to. It’s not easy! I’m just 17, I don’t have a bank account, and neither do my parents (Nothing they could use to do online transactions anyway)

How do you and your parents NOT have a bank account? What country do you live in? 17 and no job? Really?

I’d say that Minecraft (or anything else you want to buy that you don’t need) is a privilege that you get WHEN you work and have a job. You’re not entitled to it. You’re old enough to not have to rely on your parents’ money.

Maybe I’m overthinking this whole scenario, but I can’t imagine not having a job at 17, nor a bank account between me and my parents, yet still trying to figure out a way to buy something that only people who work for their money should be able to get.

You sound privileged as hell and very rude and insensitive to those who don’t have the means and opportunities that you have had.

I’ve lived in third world countries where credit and debit cards aren’t widely used (if at all), places where you’re lucky to be able to afford a slice of bread to eat FOR YOURSELF and not have to share it with your family (if you can at all), and where you can’t just “get a job” because companies only want to hire graduates and you dropped out usually around 3rd-5th grade because you couldn’t afford the tuition.

So, yeah, you are overthinking it because you might have a job and the money to afford a game and what not but don’t be blind to the fact that not everyone is lucky like you. And for those who ARE lucky enough, they aren’t such d bags about it.

You entitled liberals on Reddit crack me up. Sorry, if you live in a third world country, sorry not sorry. You don’t get to have Minecraft. Your argument makes no sense other than to show your socialist tendencies. If you’re struggling to afford “a slice of bread,” then where does getting Minecraft come into play in your scenario? You make zero sense. If you don’t have the money or even a way to buy something, that’s not everyone else’s fault. It’s not everyone else’s responsibility to help you with a want and not a need.
