    The funny thing is I’ve had the same PSN account since the PS3, and it’s old enough to vote.

      Platforms should always have that be the first check before falling back to multiple other data sources.

          Do people really put their date of birth in those things? I just scroll the year until I’m clearly past 18 years and that’s when I’m born, January first 19-whogivesafuck. Quite possibly the best date to be born on.

            Pick a date in history you like and use it. That way if it ever asks you to verify, you at least know dob.

    So when they say age verification, do they mean “show us your ID”, or “enter your birthdate”?
