It seems like such a weird concept to me. You just ask them and they buy you a game..? Even if it's just occasion, I can't picture it.

I'm so used to saving my own money or using a GPT. /_o.o_\

I generally use money I've earned from doing various jobs to pay for the games, however, I give the money to my mum and pay for them via her debit card.

yes, yes my parents give me money for games because they aren't completely unreasonable and i don't nag them to buy things too often.

When i was younger my parents bought games for me, as birthday presents and such and sometimes if we were on a shopping trip to a bigger city, nowadays i buy them with my own money, thank god for steam sales.

Usually I buy them with my own money or use gift cards.
If I don't have enough and it's a small amount left (maybe 5-10 dollars) my parents might pay off the rest.
By the way, I found Pokemon Ruby for 13 dollars online, should I buy it?

I'm not getting a job until next summer so I can actually drive there myself so I can't really get paid. I just help around the house a lot and when I see a game I want I ask my parents, though I usually do pay at least a bit of it myself. When I do get a job I'll probably have to pay completely with my own money. :D

@Video

Legally, I can get a job next year.
Though my parents don't want me to get one until I get a full driver's license so I can drive myself there.
I could probably walk or ride my bike there if I bothered to remember the way there.
So until then I'm living off birthday money for my gaming needs

Also I don't have an allowance so yeah.
Even a day of minimum wage work could get me something like 40-50 dollars.

I get free stuff on holidays and birthdays.

But yeah, I'll give my mom some money so she can add to my steam wallet and then I'll buy some things.

My mother has a personally vendetta against Steam. I need to buy those prepaid credit cards or Steam cards.

No way me too!

She won't let me buy games off steam so I have to buy the Digital edition from the site or go out into the public to buy the disc

If I earn it, I'll get £2-4 a week depending on what I do if anything (if I've been busy with other things such as weekend camps or DofE with air cadets I won't get paid).

I'm pretty much boycotting games at the moment sadly however, as I'm saving every penny for the PC project at the end of the year...
