* Looking at the "marketplace" G2A, about 15% of the Steam games sold there are sold in the form of accounts: Instead of a key or a gift, you get a login and a password for an account owning the game being sold.
"Verifiable Parental Consent (VPC) is a process required by law in certain countries, which ensures a parent or guardian has approved the creation of a child's account to use Nintendo's services. The most common method of VPC is to charge a minimal amount on the adult's credit card. The age for which this process is required varies depending on where the child lives."
